- Climate change has the potential to reshape our physical world, disrupting the corporate and economic landscape. But there are two sides to every disruption: many companies will be adversely impacted by increasingly stringent climate regulation, rising costs and changing consumer sentiment. On the other side of this disruption, will be the companies that will facilitate the net zero transition and thrive in a more climate-aware world.
- As an asset class, private equity possesses distinct advantages over the public equity market in its ability to implement and monitor sustainability initiatives. Private equity and its partners are highly influential to the businesses in which they invest, holding unparalleled access to both financial and sustainability data that often goes publicly unreported.
- At Federated Hermes Private Equity, we target companies that can thrive as the world transitions toward. As climate change becomes an increasingly critical issue for the global economy, our investment team has taken the decision not to invest in companies that are insufficiently positioned to survive and thrive in a net-zero world. By ensuring our funds’ have minimal exposure to companies that are least likely to thrive, we seek to ensure that our partners are sheltered from some of the most-adverse climate change risks.
