Carbon accounting as a driver of value in private markets

Carbon accounting is no longer a peripheral ESG exercise. For private market fund managers, emissions data is becoming a core component of investment discipline, portfolio oversight, and exit preparation.

Limited partners are scrutinising how financed emissions are measured and managed. Lenders are embedding sustainability metrics into pricing. Buyers are assessing climate exposure more rigorously at exit. In this context, carbon data is not simply about disclosure. It shapes capital access, operational performance, and long-term returns.

Our latest eBook examines how carbon accounting is being integrated into due diligence, 100-day plans, and value creation strategies across private equity, and why firms that treat it as a strategic input are better positioned in a shifting market environment.
