CSRD in the Portfolio: How Private Equity Can Help Portfolio Companies Report with Confidence

Thursday, May 16

10:00 – 11:00 AM EST/3:00 – 4:00 PM BST

Private Equity firms seek to help obligated portfolio companies prepare their first sustainability reporting aligned to the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). However, resources and budget are scarce, and most sponsor-backed companies do not need to report until FY2025. This creates the temptation to delay efforts. But the amount of work needed to prepare compliant disclosures means the time to begin CSRD workstreams is now. 

Join us for a live panel discussion featuring Daniel D’Ambrosio; ESG Partner from law firm Kirkland & Ellis, Steve Hatfield, Co-Head of Global Sustainability at Carlyle, and Anthesis CSRD expert Annika Sjöberg as we discuss the challenges facing private equity portfolios and best practice solutions we are seeing in the marketplace.
