Is ESG dead?   It's a question we've heard repeatedly over the past year.   As we prepared this year's Sustainability Report, we took a step back and returned to first principles. We explored why ESG exists, what it is ultimately trying to achieve, and whether the issues it seeks to address have become any less relevant.   Our conclusion?   The terminology may evolve, but the underlying business challenges certainly haven't. AI governance, cybersecurity, climate risk, talent and responsible governance. These remain some of the most material drivers of long-term value creation.   In this article, we share why we believe moving beyond the ESG debate and returning to what truly matters may be the most important conversation businesses can have today.   📖 Read the article below.   Our 2025 Sustainability Report will be released this Friday, where we explore these themes in greater depth and share insights across our portfolio companies. #PrivateEquity #Sustainability #ESG #ValueCreation
