The combination of dedicated in-house Esg expertise and broad-based responsibility for Esg matters across investment teams is essential. Carlyle has a dedicated global team of internal Esg professionals led by Carlyle Global Head of Impact, who reports directly to the firm Coo. The Esg team collaborates with deal teams, Global Legal Investment team, and majority-owned portfolio companies to drive understanding and adoption of Esg principles and create tailored value-creation plans. We also work closely with investors and broader stakeholders to incorporate climate learnings and best practice.
