A Guide on Climate Change for Private Equity Investors
A Guide on Climate Change for Private Equity Investors
This is a guide on current and emerging practice in the developing area of assessing climate change impacts on private equity investments.
The guide is prepared by KPMG UK jointly with the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) and the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), and is an update to the first guide published in 2010.
The guide covers current and emerging practice in the developing area of assessing climate change impacts on private equity investments, in two sections:
- Section 1 summarises the rationale for incorporating climate change concerns in private equity investments; and
- Section 2 presents a framework that Limited Partners (LPs) and General Partners (GPs) can use in due diligence and when engaging with their fund and portfolio company investments.
