We are pleased to announce the second Real Deals ESG Awards, celebrating those who are making positive change through ESG in private equity. This year’s awards ceremony will take place on 12 October 2023 at the Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square in London.
During the past few years, the private equity industry has been under increased pressure from investors to put ESG at the forefront of their work. This has intensified the focus on social and environmental issues and practices within managers and their portfolio companies.
Against this backdrop, private equity firms have been charged with identifying challenges and implementing changes needed to have a robust ESG strategy, while continuing to deliver strong returns. These awards are designed to recognise the efforts and success of private equity firms and their advisers as they work towards implementing effective ESG policies and ultimately improving the world we live in.
The awards feature 25 categories. The judging process includes outstanding ESG professionals who will ensure that the winners rightly deserve their trophies.
