Watch on demand: Embedding sustainability across a portfolio - a practical SDG approach with Egeria
Event Date:
Trying to report against every framework at once is one of the most common ways sustainability programmes stall. In this fireside conversation, Jane Shaw, sustainability adviser to private equity firm Egeria, shares how a focused SDG-based approach helps portfolio companies move from reluctant compliance to genuine ownership.
Egeria is an Amsterdam-based independent investment company (est. 1997) with ~€3.5bn AUM, a portfolio generating €2.5bn in annual turnover, and ~12,500 people employed globally, investing in mid-market businesses across the Benelux, DACH region, and North America through private equity, evergreen, and real estate strategies.
If you work in private equity or advise companies just getting started, this one's for you. Watch a snippet of the conversation:
In this session:
- How Egeria uses three to four UN SDGs as a shared framework across a diverse portfolio
- Why focus creates momentum, and how one sceptical hotel group ended up surprising itself
- Setting realistic first-year goals and building from there
- Management incentives: why embedding sustainability into operations beats attaching it to individual rewards
Speakers: Jane Shaw, Sustainability Adviser, Egeria · Sophie Rathmell, KEY ESG (moderator)
