BSR Insight Article: ESG Reporting in Private Equity
Charlotte Bancilhon, Associate, Advisory Services
Investors and stakeholders are demanding greater transparency and accountability from the private equity sector. The global economic crisis and the 2012 U.S. presidential election have stirred up a public debate on the economic and social impacts of the private equity industry, most notably on job creation. Meanwhile, limited partners and other investors want better disclosure of financial and extra-financial risks. BSR believes the private equity sector should respond to these demands by defining a robust and proactive approach to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting and by being more transparent about how it contributes to social and economic welfare. Our new report, which describes the public reporting practices of the top 20 U.S. and European firms, found that proactive ESG reporting to investors and the public at large is still emerging.
