Interview of Meg Starr by Ben Morley (BCG) on the why the EDCI is necessary, the problems it is addressing, progress to date, and what is to come for the initiative in 2023.

This newsletter includes the announcement of BCG's recent publication as well as an article by Bloomberg on the first year of the EDCI. The latter piece was shared ahead of the Bloomberg Invest conference, where the EDCI was featured in discussions.

Over recent months, BCG has worked closely with the EDCI Steering Committee to review what the EDCI benchmark reveals about ESG in private equity. While the majority of these insights will remain within the EDCI community, the Steering Committee has approved the public sharing of some limited, high level insights to help the EDCI shape the future of the private equity industry’s approach to ESG (in line with the EDCI’s mission).

A dedicated EDCI standalone website is now live, which now serves as a one-stop shop for all relevant information, FAQs and news about the initiative.
