Keensight Capital, a private equity manager dedicated to pan-European Growth Buyout investments, has been awarded Best Corporate Sustainability Strategy for a Management Company at the Private Equity Wire ESG AAA European Awards 2022.
Private Equity Wire’s European ESG AAA Awards assess, recognise and reward the efforts of private equity firms that have implemented sustainable, industry-leading ESG policies at both the portfolio company and management company levels in Europe. The ESG AAA awards represent a mark of global, societal and ethical success and quality for the companies selected.
On this occasion, Private Equity Wire partnered with EthicsGrade, an artificial intelligence-based ESG data company, to create a credible and equitable application process. EthicsGrade first independently verified all nominations, before the voting fell to a panel of external judges.
This year, the Best Corporate Sustainability Strategy was awarded to Keensight Capital for its responsible investment strategy, which integrates ESG risk, climate change and sustainability considerations throughout its investment process, from pre-investment to exit. Keensight Capital’s objective is to direct financial flows towards responsible companies, by considering their non-financial performance either on a governance, social and environmental level, as well as the ethical nature of each investment.
