There are a number of reasons why private equity (PE) firms should prioritize the environmental sustainability of their portfolio companies, like mitigating climate risk, staying current on regulations, and potential cost savings.

Whatever your reason for engaging your portfolio companies on environmental sustainability, setting them up for long-term success requires a clear strategy. That’s where this playbook comes in.

Drawing from successful portco engagement programs that we have implemented for clients in the past, this playbook outlines the essential elements for building a robust and enduring sustainability and decarbonization program.

This playbook provides tangible tips for:
