This revised GP ESG Due Diligence Guide provides an overview of actionable steps and tips on how GPs can integrate ESG factors into their investment decision-making and management process – ranging from (i) pre-investment screening and due diligence, and (ii) addressing material ESG risks and opportunities during the ownership period, to (iii) monitoring and reporting processes.
The Invest Europe 2024 GP ESG Due Diligence Guide provides members with the tools to assess and address ESG challenges and opportunities for potential investments and existing portfolio companies.
What is inside?
Pre-investment: A step-by-step action plan for ESG screening and due diligence during the pre-investment stage
Post-transaction: Best practice steps to support ESG integration into portfolio company operations, monitoring and reporting processes
Due Diligence Questionnaire: A comprehensive list of questions covering common themes across the ESG agenda, supplemented with a four-pillar materiality assessment framework
This members-only guide, prepared in cooperation with a dedicated Taskforce under the umbrella of the Invest Europe ESG Committee, aims to help private equity and venture capital managers create and enhance their own best practice frameworks, whether they are still early in their ESG journeys or fine-tuning established approaches.
