... Alternative investment managers continue to demonstrate commitment to environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. According to LGT Capital Partners’ new ESG Report 2024, 73% of the assessed private equity managers have robust ESG processes in place, an improvement of 46% over the last decade. The report draws on over 10 years of proprietary data, indicating the progress of over 300 General Partners (GPs) and 1,800 portfolio companies.

LGT Capital Partners has now published the twelfth edition of its annual ESG Report. Over this period, significant progress has been observed in the ESG and DEI efforts of the alternative investment managers examined. In 2014, just over a quarter (27%) of private equity managers had robust ESG management processes in place – indicated by LGT Capital Partners’ ratings of 'excellent' or 'good'. Today, almost three-quarters (73%) of the assessed private equity managers have robust ESG management processes, with 37% scoring 'excellent' and 36% 'good' on the same methodology.
