🌍💼 Insights from the "Investor's Perspective: What Investors Want, What Investors Need" Panel 💼🌍 at the IMN ESG & Decarbonizing Real Estate Forum. 🌱 ESG Backlash and Fiduciary Duty: Even with ESG backlash, our job is still to prioritize responsible capital stewardship. ESG, now more than ever, is about generating sustainable, long-term returns. 📈 Staying the Course: Despite market ups and downs, many investors are sticking with their long-term ESG strategies. Consistency is key. 📊 Regulatory Future Proofing: ESG isn't just about being ethical—it’s practical. It helps us future-proof against inevitable regulatory changes that will erode asset value. 🚀 Performance and Diversity: Companies focusing on diversity tend to perform better and see long-term returns. Ignoring these elements can be costly. 🧩 Need for Empirical Data: There's a consistent and growing need for better data and standardization in measuring ESG impacts. Clear metrics and third-party verification are crucial. We're in a time of great transformation, and it's exciting to see how our leaders continue to push the envelope to ensure investment returns while building a sustainable future. The uncomfortable question I was left with was this: If most of the 'ESG Backlash' is focused on diversity initiatives, how can we as ESG professionals best push back against this mounting prejudice in business environments?  Right now it feels like, money talks and we stay quiet. Thoughts? Thank you to panelists: Greg MacKinnon (PREA), Katie Cappola (Madison International), David Hood (Sonen Capital), Todd Dawes (Amet Partners, LP), and Gregory Wendt, CFP (Perigon Wealth).

Timed to today's Private Equity International Responsible Investing Forum, we're thrilled to announce our participation in the ESG Data Convergence Initiative! After working with world-class firms like MiddleGround Capital, we've seen firsthand that private equity firms can have an outsized impact on carbon emissions by accelerating the climate action of their portfolio companies. We believe the EDCI will help firms make significant progress toward their emissions goals, while also improving the resiliency of their portfolios. This new partnership makes it possible for our private equity customers to report to the EDCI with ease so they can instead focus on implementing changes that reduce their portfolios' emissions and costs. Check out the piece in ESG Dive by Lamar Johnson in the comments below to learn more. And if you're attending PEI today, stop by our table to learn more about how Gravity is helping private equity firms reduce emissions across their portfolio and save money.
