Deloitte: 53% of Central European PE investors implemented strategy with ESG elements

More than half (53%) of Central Europe private equity investors have decided to implement investment strategies with ESG elements, according to a Deloitte survey. That represents a 20% increase compared to the previous edition of the survey.

"We have observed a positive trend in recent months, confirming the growing importance of ESG factors in business for private equity investors. This is due, among other things, to the increasing number of regulations, such as the obligation to report on sustainability issues, and the attitude of fund stakeholders themselves expecting commitment to environmental and social issues," - said Iwona Pichola, head of Deloitte’s sustainability group in Poland and Central Europe, quoted in the release.
