We believe it is important to have both dedicated in- house ESG expertise, as well as broad-based responsibility for ESG matters across investment teams. Carlyle has a dedicated global team of internal ESG professionals led by Carlyle’s Global Head of Impact, who reports in directly to the firm’s COO. The ESG team works closely with our deal teams and the Global Legal Investment team as they diligence potential investments, and subsequently directly with our majority-owned portfolio companies to drive understanding and adoption of ESG principles and to create tailored value-creation plans. We also work closely with investors and broader stakeholders to drive industry learnings and best practice. As such, our work on climate risks and opportunities are integrated across the responsibilities of Carlyle professionals.
