Summary
As private market investments grow, the importance of sustainability and climate risk considerations is increasingly clear. Investors now seek not only financial returns but also a strong sustainability profile and a compelling narrative that aligns with their growth strategies. This shift highlights the need for private market investors to stay alert to health and safety, environmental impact, regulatory compliance, and more.

Effective data collection and benchmarking are crucial for success in both public and private markets.
