INFRASTRUCTURE AND ESG – VALUE CREATION VS. RISK MANAGEMENT

PRIVATE EQUITY INTERNATIONAL – RESPONSIBLE INVESTMENT CONFERENCE MARCH 20 -21, 2018

As an asset class that provides long term cashflow stability, portfolio diversification and stable returns, infrastructure continues to see increasing allocations by institutional investors. The integration of ESG considerations as part of a core investment process is now high on the agenda of every major institutional investor. Climate change, regulation, technological advances, and emerging business models across all major infrastructure industry subsectors, require an additional ESG lens as part of any core business risk assessment and fundamental valuation in risk identification and opportunity assessment across the infrastructure investment life cycle – whether fixed income or equity.

EEEIG’s Anadi Jauhari participated in a round table panel discussion “Infrastructure and ESG” with Dr. Christine Ng of Ramboll, and other asset owners at PEI’s Responsible Investment North America Conference on March 20 in New York.
