Developing the highest industry standards

Professional Standards Committee

The Invest Europe Professional Standards Committee develops and maintains strong professional conduct guidelines and working practices for the private equity industry in Europe. The Committee's members are drawn from across Invest Europe's membership and make recommendations to the Invest Europe Board of Directors about the strategy, policy and practicalities relating to professional standards, including responsible investment and investor reporting.

The Committee is responsible for Invest Europe’s Handbook of Professional Standards, a regularly-updated publication setting out the principles of transparency, accountability and governance that our members must abide by.

The Committee is supported by the Responsible Investment Roundtable and the Working Group on Accounting Standards, Valuation and Reporting.
