2013 PR ESG Survey
When we conducted our inaugural environmental, social and governance (ESG) survey of private equity (PE) professionals last year, it was startling to see that nearly half (49%) of our general partner (GP) respondents did not have an ESG program at their firm and had no plans to create one, despite heightened concern from limited partners (LPs) on ESG issues. What a difference a year makes—not to mention the fact that we had a higher proportion of European respondents this year, who are much more progressive when it comes to ESG issues. In our second edition of the ESG survey, a majority of GP respondents (60%) now work at a firm with an established ESG program and another 26% either have an ESG program in development or plan to create one in the near future. However, there are still some PE firms that see little value in ESG programs. As one GP respondent put it: “we think [ESG] is the most asinine initiative ever to come out in the business world.”
While some PE firms eschew ESG issues and think that strong fund performance is enough to attract LP commitments, the LPs themselves are telling a different story. Eighty-four percent of LP respondents say that ESG issues are at least somewhat important when deciding whether or not to commit to a PE fund, with 18% claiming they are essential. Furthermore, 24% said they would they would commit to a fund with slightly lower historical performance if the firm had a strong ESG program. Remember, many of the largest contributors to PE funds are public pension plans, endowments, foundations and sovereign wealth funds—institutions which not only are interested in returns but also have an image to maintain. “GPs have to be more aware of investors’ desire for knowledge of their investments beyond just the financial return,” commented one LP respondent, while adding that the responsibility ultimately falls on the investors: “GPs will only change if the LPs push them to.”
One of the big takeaways from this year’s survey is that more PE firms are taking the necessary steps to make ESG a fundamental part of their investment approach. For example, 28% of GP respondents indicated that their firm produces a corporate social responsibility (CSR) report, up from 18% in 2012. And while finding effective metrics to monitor ESG performance continues to be the largest hurdle for ESG efforts, PE firms continue to find new ways to measure their ESG initiatives and have increasingly utilized forums, case studies and industry events and guidelines to fill the knowledge gap.
We hope that this survey serves as a lens into the current state of ESG issues in the PE industry and provides a starting point for developing a set of best practices that can be adopted by firms of all sizes. If you are interested in participating in future editions of the survey, or have any comments or suggestions for how we can improve this report, please contact us at research@pitchbook.com.

Come Clean Report from Weber Shandwick
The document provides an overview of a report by Weber Shandwick on barriers and opportunities for cleantech in Europe. Some key points:
- Eight out of ten large European organizations claim to have cleantech policies, but perceive cost as a major barrier to adoption. Other competing priorities and changing regulations also inhibit cleantech purchasing.
- Energy efficiency, recycling, and renewable energy are seen as the top investment areas for cleantech over the next two years.
- Many cleantech communicators are not effectively reaching their target audiences in large organizations. Information provided is often inadequate or too complex.
- Despite economic challenges, environmental attributes remain important in procurement decisions across Europe. Green purchasing is expected to become even
ESG Is No Longer Optional. What Every Private Equity Manager Should Know
Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5NBmZs84gY&feature=youtu.be
Responsible investment (or ESG), once a do-good sideshow, is becoming mainstream. Private equity managers must consider a host of issues, from gender diversity to carbon emissions, or risk losing investor capital and deals. The trend is only growing.
The challenge today is formalizing ESG policies to meet heightened standards. In this webinar, Navatar in conjunction with Invest Europe, brought together leading ESG thinkers from the industry to discuss how GPs should present their ESG framework to investors, what to consider during pre-investment due diligence, and ultimately portfolio monitoring and exit.
We address:
- Why your ESG strategy can make or break a deal
- What LPs want to see in your policies/practices
- Bringing your ESG DDQ to the next level
-Automation, plastics and other emerging ESG risks

Energy for all: better use of subsidies to achieve impact
This is a presentation from the 'How can subsidies accelerate universal energy access?' IIED Debates webinar on Thursday, 22 October 2020.
The online event brought together experts to explore the role of subsidies in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 – universal energy access: What are the opportunities and challenges for policymakers, the private sector and civil society? What can we learn from current and past subsidy schemes? And how can subsidies play a vital part of the COVID-19 response and recovery?
This presentation by IIED and Hivos was delivered by key speaker Nipunika Perera, who is a researcher in IIED's Shaping Sustainable Markets research group.
The event was hosted by IIED in partnership with Hivos and Tearfund.

Ecosystems innovation
Ecosystems innovation has become an important approach for companies over the past 20 years. Most companies now collaborate with external partners like universities, suppliers, and start-ups to improve innovation. True ecosystems innovation requires awareness and trust building between collaborators as well as establishing standards and forging alliances. It is typically characterized by collaboration across core and adjacent markets and industries enabled by technologies like digital that can spur novel solutions. Relationships within ecosystems evolve rapidly so companies must be adaptable.

Survey of ESG Reports in Hong Kong 2018 - Overview
This document summarizes the key findings from a survey of ESG reports from the top 200 listed companies in Hong Kong by market capitalization. It finds that while reporting practices are improving, there is still room for growth in disclosure quality, particularly around quantitative performance data and target setting. Board involvement in sustainability governance remains an area for development. Environmental disclosure quality varies, with good narrative descriptions but many companies failing to report performance results. Social disclosure requires more attention, especially regarding supply chain management and human rights. Community investment programs tend to focus on philanthropy over creating social value. Industry-level analysis shows variations in disclosure quality across sectors.

ESG-ROADMAP
With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It’s a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of ESG policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. ESG Key Performance Indicators are complex, so they must be sector specific, focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won’t get the job done. Sustainability managers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the ESG policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to implement these policies well within their own organisations.
We don’t need to wait for new technologies or strategies to create a low carbon future—and we can’t afford to. ESG-ROADMAP gives professionals the tools they need to select, design, and implement the policies that can put us on the path to a livable climate future.

Sneak Peek: A Gold-standard Benchmark for ESG Performance
Bob Willard, Thought Leader and Author, The New Sustainability Advantage
What are the key characteristics of a truly sustainable enterprise, and how can they be used to build a 'gold standard' ESG performance benchmark? How do companies need to perform on key ESG criteria, and respective KPIs, if the business world is to conform to fundamental science-based conditions required for human society to flourish on our finite planet?
Entrepreneurial and Professional Opportunities in the Green Tech Space
The document discusses trends in green technology and funding sources for green innovation. It defines green technology as allowing equivalent or increased output with decreased resource usage. Important points for green innovation include intellectual property, financing, and value proposition. Venture capital funding declined in 2008 but government funding increased. The case study of WS Energia highlights the importance of a clear value proposition, intellectual property protection, and focusing on efficiency and rapid ROI.
David E. Rodgers, DOE: Prioritization of Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is the most cost-effective way to address climate change and energy security concerns. Existing technologies could cut energy consumption growth in half with attractive returns. However, market barriers like misaligned incentives and information deficits impede greater efficiency. The U.S. Department of Energy's strategic priorities include appliance standards, building codes, industrial efficiency programs, and establishing an international partnership on energy efficiency.

WAHLRECHT MIT 18 FÜR EIN STABILES ITALIEN – UND AUCH FÜR EUROPA EINE VERJÜNGU...
Stellen Sie sich ein Land vor, in dem auf jedes
Kind 222 000 Euro Staatsschulden kommen, seit
Jahren die Produktivität stagniert, das Bruttoinlandprodukt
(BIP) schrumpft und Arbeitslosigkeit,
Ungleichheit sowie Armut wachsen. Dort
betragen Steuerhinterziehung und Schattenwirtschaft
ein Fünftel des BIP. Jedes Jahr wandern
Zehntausende junge Uni-Absolventen aus. Es ist
keine stabile Regierung möglich (62 Regierungen
in 68 Jahren). Die meisten Bürger verachten die
Classe politique. Nein, es ist nicht Griechenland.
Es ist Italien, das grösste der fünf GIIPS-Länder

die als starke Risikofaktoren für den Euro
gelten. Was, wenn Italien das nächste Griechenland
wird?
Von den möglichen Heilmitteln für Italien wäre
ein einziges sofort und zum Nulltarif einsetzbar:
das Wahlalter für den Senat von 25 auf 18 Jahre
zu senken. Nur in Italien geniesst man die vollen

City life and new urbanism
This document discusses the principles of New Urbanism and its goal of reintroducing urban centers and qualities to city planning. It begins by describing how post-World War II development led to isolated, car-centric communities that lacked the mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods characteristic of traditional urban planning. New Urbanism began in the 1970s-80s to address this by creating neighborhoods and urban centers with human-scale design. The document then outlines some of New Urbanism's key design principles, such as creating walkable communities with a mix of uses and civic spaces embedded within neighborhoods.

WAHLRECHT MIT 18 FÜR EIN STABILES ITALIEN – UND AUCH FÜR EUROPA EINE VERJÜNGU...
Stellen Sie sich ein Land vor, in dem auf jedes
Kind 222 000 Euro Staatsschulden kommen, seit
Jahren die Produktivität stagniert, das Bruttoinlandprodukt
(BIP) schrumpft und Arbeitslosigkeit,
Ungleichheit sowie Armut wachsen. Dort
betragen Steuerhinterziehung und Schattenwirtschaft
ein Fünftel des BIP. Jedes Jahr wandern
Zehntausende junge Uni-Absolventen aus. Es ist
keine stabile Regierung möglich (62 Regierungen
in 68 Jahren). Die meisten Bürger verachten die
Classe politique. Nein, es ist nicht Griechenland.
Es ist Italien, das grösste der fünf GIIPS-Länder
(Griechenland, Irland, Italien, Portugal und Spanien),
die als starke Risikofaktoren für den Euro
gelten. Was, wenn Italien das nächste Griechenland
wird?
Von den möglichen Heilmitteln für Italien wäre
ein einziges sofort und zum Nulltarif einsetzbar:
das Wahlalter für den Senat von 25 auf 18 Jahre
zu senken. Nur in Italien geniesst man die vollen
politischen Rechte erst im Alter von 25. Im Rest
der Welt liegt das Wahlalter zwischen 16 und 21
Jahren, in den meisten Ländern bei 18. (........)

City life and new urbanism
This document discusses the principles of New Urbanism and its goal of reintroducing urban centers and qualities to city planning. It begins by describing how post-World War II development led to isolated, car-centric communities that lacked the mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods characteristic of traditional urban planning. New Urbanism began in the 1970s-80s to address this by creating neighborhoods and urban centers with human-scale design. The document then outlines some of New Urbanism's key design principles, such as creating walkable communities with a mix of uses and civic spaces embedded within neighborhoods.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
