Updated guide on climate change for private equity investors

KPMG launched an updated guide on climate change for private equity investors, prepared for the Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) and UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). The guide covers current and emerging practice in the developing area of assessing climate change impacts on private equity investments, in two sections. Section 1 summarises the rationale for incorporating climate change concerns in private equity investments. Section 2 presents a framework that Limited Partners (LPs) and General Partners (GPs) can use in due diligence and when engaging with their fund and portfolio company investments. The guide is available at IIGCC’s website.
