“The results speak for themselves. Companies with well-integrated ESG data and strategies tend to secure higher valuations when seeking additional funding or being sold to private equity.”   Petra Dismorr, our CEO and Co-Founder, recently spoke with Investment Reports’ George Clarke, unpacking the #ESG data landscape and the opportunities that corporates have regarding ESG reporting.   As #Sustainability becomes business critical, organisations are shifting from basic compliance to embedding ESG into their core operations, demonstrating the value of ESG data. Organisations that prioritise sustainability are better positioned to attract investment and achieve long-term growth.   Read Petra’s full conversation with George here: https://lnkd.in/gF5P8mfD   #ESGStrategy #Sustainability #SustainableInvesting

“You need regulation, but it needs to be managed in a way that doesn’t hold back the investment sitting and waiting to be unleashed.”   William Bryant, CFA Head of Asset Management Advisory spoke with BBC’s Steffan Powell, sharing his perspectives on the UK Labour Government’s recent investment summit. Navigating the regulatory environment when it comes to #ESGdata can be challenging – and understanding how to unlock value from that data even more so. That’s why we’re working to help businesses not only ensure they are #CSRD ready, but also tap into the value within their data.   Listen to William’s full conversation with Steffan here: https://lnkd.in/eaCRDDRf

Last week, NorthPeak Advisory's CEO, Petra Dismorr, spoke at European Life Settlement Association's annual Secondary Life Markets Conference in Stockholm. Alongside Caroline Hultman of EY, Petra explored the intersection of ESG and Life Settlements, delving into the market's biggest challenges and the road ahead. Here are a few key takeaways from their discussion: ● Materiality Matters: The “E” of ESG has been a major focus to date, particularly climate-related topics like GHG emissions; however, for an investment strategy like life settlements, social and governance factors are of critical importance. Prioritise what truly matters to your business and your investment strategy. ● Transparency: The ESG landscape is complex and fragmented, with different ratings and standards often causing confusion. Instead of getting caught up in this, focus on being transparent about your approach to ESG. ● Consistency: With political shifts and election cycles, ESG expectations may vary, but the importance of ESG factors in investment strategies has only grown over the last decade. The focus should remain on genuine, responsible actions—living your ESG values, not just talking about them. Life Settlements is a unique investment strategy, but the concerns Petra highlighted apply broadly across sectors. Her parting advice: "ESG is just an acronym—focus on building smart, responsible business practices that incorporate all material risks and opportunities." #ESG #Sustainability #ResponsibleInvesting #NorthPeakAdvisory #LifeSettlements #InvestmentStrategy #ESGInsights #Events
