Invest Europe, as pan-European representative of the private equity and venture capital industry, commits to actively contribute to the EU becoming climate-neutral by 2050, as set out in the European Green Deal.

Invest Europe recognises the announcement of the LP-GP ESG Data Convergence Project which seeks to advance an initial set of ESG metrics and mechanisms for comparative reporting of the private equity industry.

Maaike van der Schoot (AlpInvest Partners), Erwann Le Ligné (Eurazeo), Patrick Sheehan and Rob Genieser (ETF Partners), and Cilia Holmes Indahl (EQT) joined our launch webinar on 15 March to shed more light on the new Invest Europe Climate Change Guide.

Aimed at firms that are already quite advanced in their ESG journeys, Invest Europe's second Climate Change Guide "Engaging Portfolio Companies" intends to provide practical support and advice to members on how to engage and communicate with their portfolio companies on climate change matters.

With this statement, Invest Europe welcomes the provisional agreement on the AIFMD review and recognises the efforts taken by regulators in taking into account the views expressed by our association during the lengthy legislative process.

The Invest Europe Climate Change Guide constitutes one of the most complete guides on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues, and in particular climate change, for private equity investors to date. Its structure follows a step-by-step approach and is based on three different modules – Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced - covering all stages of investors’ ESG journey and being suited for both those getting started and those looking at taking climate change considerations to the next level.

Joint statement: Employer, worker and industry representatives: "Re-think is needed on IORP revision".

From a private capital perspective, Europe’s proposed 28th regime has the potential to reduce legal fragmentation, enhance investability, and better support capital flows across the full growth journey of European companies. A practical, pan-European corporate framework could mobilize Europe’s private capital ecosystem, if it keeps into account the financing needs of the businesses targeted by the regime.
