Navigating opportunities and trade-offs — Driving value through impact at the portfolio level
As sustainability becomes a strategic lever in private equity, a new challenge has emerged: how can portfolio companies reduce their own operational footprint without slowing the scalable, positive impact of their products and services?
This trade-off is no longer theoretical — it’s at the heart of long-term value creation. Join us for a practical session with NVP and Summa Equity exploring how investors can move beyond ESG box-ticking to embed impact into investment strategy, value creation planning, and exit positioning.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- Assessing both internal efficiency and market-facing impact
- Tools to help scale impact without compromising growth
- How sustainability can support differentiation and deal upside
- Outlooks from NVP and Summa Equity on impact in EU for PE
Date & time:
