“Private market companies are baffled by ESG reporting requirements with 90% of companies held in private equity funds unsure how to report.” KEY ESG “surveyed over 100 industry participants including general partners and portfolio companies” based in the UK, EU and U.S., finding that 75% of the funds “were required to report on ESG and 40% of funds used ESG to differentiate themselves.” Still, these funds lacked resources and an understanding of “ESG reporting from a portfolio company level.”

“The queen’s death last week, at 96, is a genuinely traumatic event, leaving many in this stoic country anxious and unmoored. As they come to terms with the loss of a figure who embodied Britain, they are unsure of their nation’s identity, its economic and social well-being, or even its role in the world.”
