Private equity’s ESG journey: Thinking ahead about ESG
Global Private Equity Responsible Investment Survey 2021 – Africa View
The Global Private Equity Responsible Investment Survey explores the views of general partners and limited partners in responsible investment among global private equity firms.
We’ve surveyed ten PE firms across five African countries to find out how PE firms are adopting sustainable investing. In particular, it explains that firms are entering a new age of ESG maturity, why ESG is becoming key to value creation and what is driving enduring business success.
There is more internal motivation based on operational efficiency gains from ESG considerations than investor pressures, as felt globally. This could be attributed to the stark realities faced by African companies, such as social vulnerability and inequality. Thus, PE firms are preempting market pressures they may feel in the future and taking it upon themselves to drive the ESG agenda.
