ESG

Measuring the impact of the escalating climate crisis on commercial real estate is becoming imperative but the sector is still learning how to do it.

Argos Wityu has reached a first close at €120m for its impact fund focused on decarbonising the real economy.

Maria Nazarova-Doyle will report to Luba Nikulina, the private markets firm's chief strategy officer.

Senior professionals at the world’s largest managers of impact capital seem unfazed by the US political attacks on ESG: investment performance will be their best defence.

State-backed investment company, Permodalan Nasional Berhad, sees the EDCI as a route to more consistent emissions data gathering.

The firm has launched a new sustainability strategy and is among the first infrastructure investors to set such a goal, according to sustainability head Sandrine Lalmant.

Though the asset class is generally behind the curve on ESG, attempts to harmonise disclosure in private debt are beginning to gain momentum.

Infrastructure funds are under growing pressure to deliver ‘nature-positive’ investments.

Private debt is moving into a new era of impact lending and sustainability-linked loans.

The backlash against ESG, which is predominantly in the US, could ultimately be a 'catalyst for constructive dialogue', writes Trill Impact partner Pia Irell.
