With ESG at the forefront of the mind of many GPs and LPs, funds editor Harriet Matthews and ION Analytics EMEA M&A and ECM head of analytics William Cain share their thoughts on the topic, accompanied by a guest interview with Bain Capital’s Ivano Sessa on portfolio company Fedrigoni.

 

Approaches to ESG have shifted over the years across public and private markets, evolving significantly from a pure risk mitigation and divestment mindset.

Bain Capital acquired packaging producer Fedrigoni in 2017, with BC Partners joining as a co-investor in 2022. Sessa discusses the company’s growth potential in relation to ESG initiatives and value creation, as well as Bain Capital’s investment outlook for 2023.

Following a discussion of key takeaways, the team looks ahead to the future of ESG, and whether the framework and investment approach are under threat as macro clouds gather.
