UK mid-market private equity firm Palatine has formed a strategic partnership with Flotilla, a sustainability specialist for the private equity sector, as it looks to elevate ESG performance across its portfolio companies.
The partnership will see Palatine deploy Flotilla’s Portfolio Manager alongside its core decarbonisation products (Carbon Reduction Plan and Net Zero Solutions) to monitor and manage ESG performance across its portfolio companies.
Already trusted by private equity investors, Flotilla has established itself as the go-to partner for firms looking to embed sustainability as a driver of growth, resilience, and long-term value creation strategies.
Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Manchester, with offices in London and Birmingham, Palatine champions its philosophy of “positive equity”, backing ambitious teams to grow while delivering enhanced value through sustainable business practices. It invests across three funds, Buyout, Impact and Growth Credit.
Palatine pioneered its industry-leading ESG framework 15 years ago and remains the first regional PE firm to launch a focused Impact Fund, targeting companies that deliver positive social and environmental change alongside market-leading financial returns.
Earlier this year Palatine closed its largest-ever Buyout Fund V, raising £254m with a strong emphasis on sustainability and internal ESG capability.
Palatine selected Flotilla’s Portfolio Manager and core solutions to enhance consistency, transparency, and actionable insight to their ESG efforts. With its own SBTi target in place, Palatine is supporting all portfolio companies to adopt decarbonisation pathways.
