OVERVIEW
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is no longer just a buzz-phrase or a nice-to-have. Increasingly, LPs, customers, regulatory authorities and even employees are demanding that ESG policies and practices are integrated into the entire deal making process; from sourcing, due diligence to portfolio monitoring and value-add. Beyond risk mitigation, ESG integration is increasingly recognised as a compelling need and lever to increase portfolio value. Locally, the Environmental Risk Management Guidelines (EnRM) have been issued by the authorities and asset managers are expected to craft their ESG policies and to put in place processes and procedures to manage and implement these policies commensurate with the size, nature and focus of their Funds. Interest in Impact Investing is also fast gaining momentum.
This Masterclass will help participants to clarify their firms' focus, articulate their ESG policy, utilise ESG management tools and design their own management processes to integrate ESG into their investment process and undertake post-investment reporting. Unlike public equities with clear benchmarks, indices and reporting practices across industry subsectors, private equity has to develop their in-house management policies and practices according to their firm's focus and investment strategy, chart progress, devise measurement plans and articulate impact. The sessions on Impact Investing will differentiate Impact from ESG and showcase frameworks for measurement and reporting.
Led by professionals in sustainable investment and Impact Investing, this course will equip participants with key principles for ESG integration, tools for better calibration and measurement and feature real-life case studies and sharing from industry practitioners from both private equity and venture capital.
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?
This course is highly relevant to private equity professionals; partners involved in fundraising, investor relations personnel communicating with LPs, frontline investment professionals undertaking due diligence and portfolio monitoring, operating partners implementing value-add strategies and compliance professionals dealing with evolving regulatory requirements.
