About this event
KEY ESG is delighted to host Julien Krantz, Research Director at Invest Europe, for a 45-minute deep-dive into the findings of Invest Europe’s latest ESG KPI Report - the most comprehensive dataset on ESG adoption across European private capital.
Why Attend?
The 2025 ESG KPI Report analyses data from over 1,000 private equity and venture capital firms, along with their LPs - ranging from Europe’s largest pension funds to insurance giants. Now in its third year, the report has become a definitive benchmark for ESG progress in the private markets.
In this session, you’ll get exclusive early access to the key insights:
• Environmental Performance Trends:
How firms are tracking emissions, energy use, and net-zero commitments—plus what’s changed since 2024.
Example: of the companies that reported in both 2022 and 2023, 62% managed to either reduce their carbon intensity or keep increases below 10% year-on-year.
• Social & Governance Metrics:
The latest on DEI metrics, supply chain oversight, and board diversity in private equity portfolios.
Example: 18% of board seats at portfolio companies backed by PE/VC at the end of 2023 were taken by women.
• The Data Behind ESG Reporting Challenges:
Discover how private equity firms are coping with fragmented data, multiple ESG frameworks, and new regulatory pressures like SFDR and CSRD.
• Looking Ahead to 2026:
What’s next for ESG data collection, KPI standardisation, and reporting expectations in European private capital?
There will be time at the end for Q&A so bring your questions.
