Manna Tree drives ESG improvement across its portfolio companies with KEY ESG

About Manna Tree Partners

Manna Tree Partners is a US-based private equity firm investing in companies in the nutritional health and food supply chain sectors. They are on a mission to improve human health by supporting and scaling companies that innovate the health industry and improve the way that people live.

The Challenge

Manna Tree’s portfolio companies have always had strong ESG values at the core of their operations, however they had no standardised metrics in place to measure ESG data across the portfolio. Manna was looking to implement a simple solution which would allow them to assess the ESG performance of their portfolio companies in a more uniform and structured way. They wanted to find a “common language” in which they could communicate with their investors on ESG, without adding complexity and friction to the communication lines between themselves and their portfolio companies.

Manna Tree invests in young and fast-growing businesses, all with limited time and resources available to manage ESG reporting. They require a centralised software solution to simplify and streamline portfolio ESG data collection, metric calculation and reporting.

Gabrielle Rubenstein Co-founder and Managing Partner of Manna Tree said:

"KEY ESG enabled our whole portfolio to participate in the EDCI benchmark process. The rapid onboarding allowed all our companies to collect and report on the required EDCI data within one month. We could not have moved this fast without KEY ESG."
