Happy New Year! What a great way to kick off the New Year with our next ESG Series event sponsored by HBS Women's Association. Join us in person for a networking session and panel discussion around ESG / sustainability trends in private equity as we all best position for 2024. After a year of volatility across ESG and post COP28, this is a great opportunity to reset and evaluate how private markets can act as change agents in integrating sustainability across operations. This will be an insightful event for any professional in and / or or covering the private equity space, or any investment professional across asset classes. Event is open to ALL - please note we have a cap of 50 and expect this event to sell out quickly. Free to HBSWA and members of the HBSCNY community. (No virtual session or recording will be available.) I am personally looking forward to moderating a robust dialogue amongst 3 powerful women Leah Malone, Heidi DuBois, and Sanaz Raczynski who have made substantial inroads in building ESG programs at their respective practices. Amongst many topics to discuss, we will cover: 1. ESG’s role in the current fundraising environment 2. Regulatory developments and the impact of growing consolidation of ESG frameworks and standards 3. Advice from leading experts in building best-in-class sustainability programs 4. Defining the PE value creation playbook: linking financial impact to sustainability 5. Defining decarbonization pathways at the portfolio company level and assessing climate risk and resilience 6. Integrating technology and data analytics to improve reporting / communication and measuring impact 7. And finally, addressing the crisis in corporate governance - establishing best practices across portfolio companies Registration link can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eex3bhgr Special thank you to our generous sponsor Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP for hosting this event. #privateequity #privatemarkets #esginvesting #esgstrategy #sustainability #sustainabilityreporting #sustainabilitymatters #diversityequityinclusion #climatechange #climatefinance #privateequityfunds
