Real Deals ESG Awards 2024


17 October 2024, De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms London


Recognising and celebrating authentic ESG change in private equity



We are pleased to announce the third Real Deals ESG Awards, celebrating those who are making positive change through ESG in private equity. This year’s awards ceremony will be presented on 17 October 2024 in London.


ESG has entered the mainstream, with the majority of investors now incorporating environmental, social and governance factors into their decision-making, and fund managers placing greater emphasis on evaluating ESG risks and opportunities within portfolio companies.


    Judged by an independent panel of ESG specialists, the Real Deals ESG Awards recognise the efforts of private equity firms and their advisers to operate more sustainably, collect and utilise reliable ESG data, and drive real change in portfolio companies.

    Judging process


    We accept self nominations for all categories.

    All nominations that we receive online will be assessed by the Real Deals editorial team. Shortlisted entries will then be passed on to our panel of judges, who will meet, deliberate and select a winner.
