Solutions for Private Equity

When ESG due diligence lacks structure and specialist depth, material risks go undetected until after the deal closes, at which point the ability to renegotiate terms, adjust valuations, or revisit the investment thesis has already passed.

We conduct rigorous ESG due diligence that goes beyond surface-level screening, assessing material risks and value-creation opportunities across governance, environmental performance, climate exposure, and social practices, giving your deal team the clarity to price risk accurately and make more informed decisions.

The result is an investment decision grounded in evidence, with a clear picture of where ESG risks lie, what they could cost, and where opportunities to create value exist post-acquisition.

Many portfolio companies lack the ESG governance structures, data processes, and reporting capabilities that GP standards and LP expectations now require, and without a structured integration plan, the months following close are rarely used strategically.

We design and implement a structured ESG integration plan tailored to each portfolio company, establishing governance frameworks, data collection processes, and sustainability strategies that are aligned with GP standards, LP requirements, and the company's own operational reality. 

We work directly alongside management teams to embed ESG into how the business is run. The result is a portfolio company that enters its first full year under ownership with clear ESG foundations, an actionable strategy, and the internal capability to deliver on it.

As portfolios grow and regulatory requirements evolve, maintaining consistent ESG performance across diverse assets becomes increasingly difficult. Without standardised data collection, clear targets, and a structured improvement process, ESG monitoring becomes a difficult exercise.

We support ongoing ESG performance tracking across your portfolio, standardising data collection, measuring KPIs, and consolidating ESG information into transparent, LP-ready reporting. 

As regulatory requirements evolve, we ensure ESG practices across your portfolio keep pace, reducing compliance risk and strengthening the ESG narrative you present to current and prospective LPs.

The result is a portfolio that improves consistently over the holding period, with the data and governance infrastructure to demonstrate that progress clearly and credibly at exit.

For portfolio companies operating complex supply chains, CSRD and CSDDD now create a direct obligation to manage and demonstrate ESG performance not just within their own operations, but across their entire value chain. Most portfolio companies have neither the capacity nor the expertise to collect supplier ESG data, close capability gaps, and meet these obligations without dedicated support.

We act as the dedicated ESG partner for their supplier base, collecting sustainability data across the value chain, identifying and addressing gaps in supplier ESG practices, and supporting suppliers in meeting the standards that CSRD, CSDDD, and your LPs increasingly demand. We manage the process end to end, so your portfolio companies can demonstrate responsible sourcing without diverting internal resources to do it.

The result is a supply chain that is better governed, more transparent, and positioned to meet the growing expectations of regulators, customers, and investors, turning a compliance obligation into a competitive advantage at exit.
