Sustainability Reporting
UK Private Equity Manager
Client Overview
We worked with a London-based private equity firm seeking to enhance its sustainability reporting. Although the firm had well‑established sustainability policies and practices embedded across its investment processes and portfolio companies, it wanted a clearer and more polished way to communicate this work through a cohesive narrative that highlighted both the financial and operational benefits delivered.
Objective
The firm engaged Danesmead Advisory to develop a coherent sustainability reporting framework and narrative that would demonstrate how it manages material risks, meets growing regulatory and investor expectations, and creates long‑term value across its companies and communities using sustainability.
Key Actions
We built a reporting framework to help the firm articulate its approach to responsible investment and sustainability in a manner aligned with investor expectations.
Working closely with the investment and sustainability teams, we refined the narrative and supporting case studies to ensure they accurately reflected the firm’s priorities and evidenced the real outcomes of its approach, capturing both meaningful benefits for people and communities and the financial value generated for the firm.
We analysed multi‑year sustainability performance metrics, including carbon emissions, energy consumption and staff turnover, and transformed these into visually accessible charts, graphs and tables that highlighted material trends and progress.
The result was a concise, coherent report demonstrating how sustainability contributes to long‑term value creation and supports investor‑aligned risk management.
