Private equity is stepping in where big oil wants out. Our report shows how oil and gas giants are "cleaning up" their image by offloading their dirtiest assets onto private equity firms. These firms are making a fortune buying up oil fields and gas terminals using capital from teachers and firefighters’ retirement funds. Then, the burden of the world's nosedive into climate change is put on everyday citizens and disaster-affected communities. The lack of transparency needs to change. Private equity takes over, accountability drops, and emissions stay high. Thanks to Damien Gayle of The Guardian for his thoughtful coverage.

Rats. Raw sewage. Insect infestations. When Alden Global Capital took over these manufactured housing parks in Florida, tenants suffered. PESP's Jordan Ash told the Tampa Bay Times: “In some of the parks there were problems beforehand. What’s clear is that those problems got much worse."

Today, any fossil fuel investments ultimately introduce financial, legal, and climate risks for pension funds and institutional investors. Private equity firms are putting communities at risk, as well as the retirement funds of working Americans like firefighters and teachers.

👏 👏 👏 Much of the capital fueling private equity's environmentally destructive investments comes from public sector workers’ pensions. Yet, there is minimal disclosure to these pension fund managers about the climate risks associated with their investments. The lack of transparency poses a dual threat: financial risk to institutional investors and exacerbated climate risk through continued exposure to fossil fuel assets. #PEClimateRisks

Several public pension funds have committed millions of dollars to private equity firm Kimmeridge Energy Management Company's energy funds, which fund the fossil fuel companies in the firm’s portfolio. Most notably, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) Investments committed $100 million to the massive Kimmeridge Fund VI, the largest single commitment to the fund. https://lnkd.in/gWJbn5m5

Private equity continues to drive the climate crisis. The top 21 firms in the new 2024 Private Equity Climate Risks Scorecard and Report, including Carlyle, Brookfield, and EIG, are responsible for over one billion tons of emissions annually. 67% of their energy portfolios are tied to fossil fuels, despite growing demands for climate accountability. These firms are putting our planet and financial markets at risk. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eSRiHyZG
