Real Deals and The Drawdowns ESG 2024 | Real Deals Media | 29 January 2024 | The King's Fund, Cavendish Square, London W1G 0AN, UK

This Conference will be co-hosted by Real Deals and The Drawdown brought together leading fund managers, institutional investors and expert advisers for an in-depth exploration of the latest ESG trends in European private equity.

As ESG continues to move up the agenda, private equity firms and their portfolio companies must learn to navigate an increasingly complex path to demonstrate their ESG credentials.

Explore, Strategise & Grow Conference builds on Real Deals’ 20+ years of experience in the European private equity market. The event provided an exclusive platform for fund managers, investors and expert solution providers to tackle one of the most rapidly evolving and topical issues facing the industry.

The two-day conference attracted over 190 private equity professionals and industry experts who joined us to hear from over 40 influential industry leading experts, and to interact in-person with thought leaders from across the PE community. Attendees heard how best to stay ahead of the ESG curve by learning about current trends and insights, and keeping up to date with technology and requirements by accessing invaluable content and experts.

This year’s agenda covered all the key themes for 2023 including the latest updates on regulatory changes, the challenges of ensuring data integrity and consistency of reporting, the importance of DEI within both GPs and their portfolio companies and the role of ESG throughout the whole deal cycle – from valuation through to exit.

Over 190 leading ESG professionals from across the industry join us in London on 31 January and 1 February for two days packed with discussion and debate.
