March 14, 2024

12:30 - 13:30 (Paris time) via Zoom

REPLAY AVAILABLE BELOW

Reflecting a real change in investors mindsets, ESG investments have increased significantly in recent years. According to PwC, ESG-focused assets under management are expected to increase at 13% p.a. to reach USD 34 trillion in 2026. Whether ESG has the capacity to push up financial returns and to drive higher value for the private equity industry remains under debate.

Three private equity investors convinced of the merits of ESG investment will give their point of view and answer two main questions:

- What is the importance of ESG in private equity?

- How are ESG considerations integrated throughout the investment life cycle?
