This represents one of the largest ESG-focused investments by an\ninvestment firm to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CVC is a leading private equity and credit company, with\nover $80 billion assets under management.&nbsp;\nThe investment was the first made through CVC\u2019s newly closed CVC Growth\nPartners Fund II, which focuses on middle-market high growth technology-related\ncompanies in North America and Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EcoVadis is a leader in business sustainability ratings,\nintelligence and collaborative performance improvement tools for global supply\nchains. EcoVadis intends to use the funds from the investment to further scale its\nbusiness, promoting sustainability into enterprise supply chains and commerce\nglobally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Highlighting the importance of ESG as an emerging investment\nfocus, Aaron Dupuis, Senior Managing Director at CVC, stated, \u201cWe have followed\nEcoVadis for several years as part of our long-standing efforts in supply chain\nrisk management, where we identified ESG as a particular area of focus for\nbest-in-class companies, and are incredibly excited about the immense\nopportunities that lie ahead for the company, as it continues to establish\nitself as the gold standard for ESG ratings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ESG is increasingly top of mind in the investment world,\nincluding the private equity space, with both KKR and TPG in the process of\nraising billions of dollars for their own impact investment funds. Interest in\nthe space by these firms may be viewed as a positive sign for investors in the\nESG space broadly. Private equity is often seen as the \u201csmart money\u201d in\ndetermining long-term investment trends, as PE firms make large investments in\nareas they consider to have greater future value in years ahead when they will\nhave to harvest their investments.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-27\" data-postid=\"27\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-27 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Private equity funds are beginning to flow into sustainable investing If you want to determine future investment trends, watch the smart money.
