Sustainable Investing

Steering investment capital to the areas of greatest promise

Institutional investors are increasingly committing to sustainability as a core driver of financial value, with a growing number launching climate-dedicated funds.

We work closely with private equity firms and investors to help them create investment strategies, identify and assess the most promising opportunities for carbon reductions, and drive the success and growth of their sustainability-focused portfolio companies.

What we do

Enterprise and fund-level strategy

We help new and existing funds develop investment theses, aspirations, and narratives, set compelling and credible targets, measure impact across diverse and evolving portfolios, and scale sustainability and ESG capabilities and tools.

Opportunity scans and target selection

We identify investment opportunities with extraordinary growth potential based on technology advances, shifting customer demands and commitments, and rapidly evolving regulatory environments.

Due diligence

We conduct detailed and rigorous due diligence on high-potential investments, integrating knowledge of sustainability with deep sector expertise to define and evaluate nuanced drivers of risk and opportunity.

Portfolio value creation

We work directly with portfolio companies to drive top- and bottom-line growth by accelerating decarbonization journeys and scaling up sustainable businesses.

Examples of our work

Launching a new fund

We are working with one of the world’s largest private equity firms to navigate the complexity of launching a new sustainability fund. We're advising fund managers and limited partners on emerging strategies, technologies, business models, and incumbents. We are also helping clients evaluate investment opportunities and mitigate risk, along with driving top-line growth.

Reviewing the portfolio

Our team helped a global private equity firm conduct a portfolio-wide review of climate change risks and opportunities. We conducted workshops to understand the ESG team’s aspirations, assessed the portfolio’s climate risk across multiple dimensions, and held additional workshops to syndicate the findings and take action.
