Responsible Investment & Sustainability Integration

for Institutional Investors in Private Markets

ESG is no longer peripheral to private market investing — it's a core driver of risk management, value creation, and long-term returns. This guide walks institutional investors through the key responsible investment trends, how to embed sustainability across every stage of the private market investment cycle, and how to use ESG as a genuine competitive advantage.

What's Inside

  • An overview of material responsible investment trends shaping Australia and New Zealand's private markets

  • A stage-by-stage framework covering screening, due diligence, ownership, and exit

  • Practical checklists for institutional investors at each stage of the investment cycle

  • Real-world case studies from PGGM and British Columbia Investment Management Corporation

  • Analysis of how ESG integration can deliver up to 20% EBITDA uplift

Why Use It

Institutional investors face growing regulatory pressure, beneficiary scrutiny, and the challenge of uneven ESG maturity across private asset classes.
