Real Deals ESG Awards 2024 | Real Deals Media | TBA

ESG has entered the mainstream, with the majority of investors now incorporating environmental, social and governance factors into their decision-making, and fund managers placing greater emphasis on evaluating ESG risks and opportunities within portfolio companies.

Judged by an independent panel of ESG specialists, the Real Deals ESG Awards recognise the efforts of private equity firms and their advisors to operate more sustainably, collect and utilise reliable ESG data, and drive real change in portfolio companies.

More information about the 2024 awards will be announced soon.
