Adopting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices is essential for modern investment strategies, particularly for PE and VC funds aiming for sustainable growth. According to the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), funds classified under Article 8 and Article 9 need to disclose their ESG strategies transparently.
