A chapter in Responsible Investment Banking, 2015, pp 349-358 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Conventional wisdom states that ESG is a necessary cost centre that reduces reputational risk, whereas this chapter introduces ESG as a framework for profit creation and strategic direction. Drawing on experience of a private equity fund that looks for environmental companies and grows them into viable international enterprises, this chapter also showcases how detailed ESG due diligence can add value to portfolio companies throughout the investment process from selection and structuring to portfolio management and profitable exits. Continuous improvement highlights the mechanisms through which ESG drives the bottom line.
