#FlashbackFriday Some weeks ago, PAI hosted its Sustainability Club in Madrid - an annual forum where we gather together with industry experts and ESG representatives across PAI portfolio companies to learn from one another, establish new connections and share best practices. This event gets to the heart of our purpose of growing better and more sustainable companies. This year’s theme was “Transforming Futures”, which speaks to our commitment to innovation, sustainability and strategic growth. The event also included a group visit to TENDAM’s Aranjuez logistics centre for a showcase of ESG best practices – thank you to Tendam for hosting us. You can watch some of the highlights in this video 👇 #PAISustainabilityClub #ESG #Sustainability

Nature and biodiversity play a pivotal role in the global economy. This is equally true across the sectors in the Real Economy, where PAI specialises. In fact, the World Economic Forum estimates that more than 50% of global GDP is moderately or highly dependent on natural capital. Esohe Denise Odaro, Head of Sustainability & ESG at PAI, recently joined the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA)’s ESG Conference to share PAI’s perspective on how integrating nature-positive solutions into strategy allows private equity firms to build resilience and contribute to global sustainability goals, both at the platform level and across their portfolios. This is an approach advocated by BLOOM, a practical action guide designed to help private market participants reduce negative impacts on biodiversity and safeguard related returns.
