This year, Orbis Advisory has undertaken its third annual ‘Private Equity ESG Transparency Index’, analysing 161 private equity (PE) firms’ ESG reporting performance.
There is increased demand on General Partners (GPs) via heightened regulation and investor requirements to communicate their ESG performance and demonstrate progression as well as to report how they manage ESG risks and opportunities.
We identify several common themes around PE firms’ ESG transparency performance, year on year trends, and how the sector is evolving its strategies to manage and optimise emerging ESG factors. This in-depth analysis allows Orbis Advisory to offer its PE clients the best advice on improving their ESG credentials in the context of their competitors and market.

Disclosure and transparency are key elements of a value-adding ESG strategy as it builds trust and provides a platform to communicate performance, commitment and ambitions if done well, reducing the potential for greenwashing accusations. Our Index showcases what leading firms disclose about their ESG performance and commitment.
In the face of continued, emerging environmental and societal risks and regulations, a strong ESG strategy enables financial organisations not only to manage risk and build resilience, but also to improve financial performance.
These key insights, along with the Index’s top performers, provide a snapshot into what is currently considered best practice and what is required to develop a value-adding ESG strategy.

2023 has been a year of significant change in the ESG space. The COP27 summit reaffirmed countries’ commitment to limit global warming to the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement and shone new light on the importance of keeping businesses accountable for their commitments.
Alongside this, a plethora of ESG-focused regulations and frameworks have been, or will soon be, introduced: the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), EU Taxonomy, and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) all came into effect in 2023; the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) was integrated into the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), which will affect country-level legislation, and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) was released in September 2023.
-
ESG disclosure continues to improve with an average score increase of 6% in 2023. This score increase may be attributed to the trends observed this year, such as:
Biodiversity initiatives disclosure which, likely aided by the release of the TNFD framework, increased from 3% to 10%
A wider variety of internationally recognised ESG frameworks and initiatives employed, such as the SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard, Initiative Climate International (iCI) and the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI)
Increasing prevalence of setting and disclosing quantitative ESG KPIs
Mention of the use of ESG software (i.e. iLevel and Reporting21)
