Meet Kate Goodall, our Head of ESG & Sustainability at the ESG conference, co-hosted by Real Deals and The Drawdown. It will bring together leading fund managers, institutional investors and expert advisors to provide an in-depth exploration of the latest trends in ESG.


As ESG continues to move up the agenda, private equity firms and their portfolio companies must learn to navigate an increasingly complex path to demonstrate their ESG credentials.

This year’s agenda will cover all the key themes for 2023 including the latest updates on regulatory changes, the challenges of ensuring data integrity and consistency of reporting, the importance of DEI within both GPs and their portfolio companies and the role of ESG throughout the whole deal cycle, from valuation through to exit.
