Episode Synopsis

Contrary to common misconceptions, private equity is well suited to drive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) as shareholders. With longer holding periods, freedom from the short-term pressures of public markets and reduced exposure to political noise, private markets are well-equipped to integrate differentiated ESG strategies that align with sustainable growth, profitability and resilience. In this episode, Laurent Bouvier and Therése Lennehag, two of UBS’s leading voices in Corporate Shareholder and ESG Advisory, join us to explore why now is the time to rethink ESG and the crucial role private markets can play in advancing it further.
