ESG integration is gaining more traction in private equity. Robeco’s latest Private Equity Engagement Report concludes that fund managers in the company’s private equity ESG Program have taken further steps to embrace ESG factors and integrate them into their investment processes.
“If we look at the activities of PE fund managers in the last year, we can conclude that ESG factors have become further integrated into their investment process.”, states the report in its introduction. Recommendations by the Financial Stability Board’s Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures, the adoption...
In the twelfth edition of the ESG Engagement Report1 Robeco Private Equity documents the activities of PE managers that are part of its ESG Engagement Program.
2017 was a year in which General partners (GPs) continued to strengthen their ESG integration in investment, monitoring and reporting practices which has translated into stable overall ESG scores.
The average ESG score for the 63 fund managers that participated in last year’s survey was 69%, compared to 66% in 2016 and 59% in 2015. Meanwhile, the median ESG score stands at 69%, versus 69% in 2016 and 64% in 2015. These figures indicate that most fund managers now have functioning ESG frameworks in place.
The results are based on an annual assessment by Robeco Private Equity that uses a reporting and assessment tool developed by the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI). A growing number of investors in the private equity world are now signing up to the PRI and its goals.
The reputational risk of private equity portfolio companies monitored by Robeco Private Equity remains relatively low. The analysis of ESG-related news stories and alerts by RepRisk2 shows that the majority were not involved in any ESG-related incidents. Those that received negative media attention experienced relative...
In their role of active owner of portfolio companies and the extended control this entails (compared to public companies), the PE managers are in a good position to promote the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs3).
In 2017 the number of PE fund managers that committed to contributing to these SDGs increased further. In terms of the contribution to specific goals, most portfolio companies contributed to SDG 7 and SDG 12, which relate to sustainable energy and sustainable consumption and production.
Despite the increasing focus on SDGs, the report also recognizes that SDG-related and impact reporting is still in its infancy and most of the managers first need to develop consistent ESG reporting frameworks.
An analysis of how PE managers currently manage climate-related risks and opportunities also indicated that half of the respondents have already incorporated climate-related risks and opportunities into their investment strategy and process in some way. In addition, 38% of the fund managers have integrated their proces...
However, only 24% of managers currently engage with their portfolio companies to encourage better disclosure and practices relating to climate-related risks. The survey results also showed that only about one-fifth of managers currently use emission data or analysis in investment decision-making. These percentages show...
Robeco Private Equity’s ESG Engagement program, introduced in 2014, aims to encourage private equity fund managers to implement ESG best practices in their investment process. Through its ESG activities, which have been recognized by the PRI with an A+ rating, Robeco Private Equity aims to draw the attention of PE mana...

Robeco Private Equity’s ESG engagement program strives to contribute to improving the risk-reward characteristics of client portfolios and enhance the added value of privat...

We used plans for an 8x8 saltbox. Egg collecting can be accessed from outside as well as inside. Feeder and waterer are on slideable boards (my husband's idea) so that we don't have to actually go inside coop. Coop can be accessed by wire door attached with hooks for easy cleaning.
We let our roosters free range and then at night they jump up on roost right inside door for safety but cannot get to hens. Electric box and light switch are mounted above the doors inside. We have 6 Buff Orphingtons and 6 Golden Comets with 2 Buff Roosters named Tony and Jeff after our favorite Nascar drivers!
Plan to add small 4x8 deck onto the front of coop as well as a flower box under south widow for added decoration. Hens are very happy and producing 8-10 eggs a day now!
If anyone would have questions please feel free to Email us!
Would like to see more details about the coop and how you built it. And more photos.
I guess I don't understand this sight, do we not get materials list?

Coral Tinted Perceptions: Spring Has Sprung!
Spring cleaning is a real thing, people and I've been in the process of doing it for a while however today I'm away from home so I figured I may as well get into some of my mental spring cleaning that is needed. I love the idea of it being a new season and me taking a. New mentality into a new season because let's be h...
The flowers are out and so is my optimism. I'm my going to lie, I've been in a weird mind set of late but I've decided to mentally attack it which intimately means.... I'm in planning mode!!!
How do you feel about the change in seasons?
Also, one of the most exciting things that last brought, mine was easily my niece!
Ps: sorry about the crap layout and picture quality I'm blogging from my blogger app while my internet is down!
So interesting to see a different perspective on the new season since like 99% of my feed (myself included) is like yay fall!!! ;) I love when the season changes. I love feeling like I have a clean slate to start fresh.
My sis lives in australia and its spring for her starting up as well. SO cool!
oh spring is such a fun season -- my favorite is all of the pretty flowers!
yay for spring! we're gearing up for the cold weather as fall is approaching in toronto (canada) fast.
I am not ready for fall yet- summer went by too quickly!
I love the change in seasons also Nat! Time for anew. We're going into Fall, so I'm prepping for colder weather.
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Fighting in the Shiite stronghold of Sadr City killed 23 Iraqis yesterday, hospital officials said, and the U.S. military reported five troop deaths, as April showed signs of becoming the worst month for U.S. forces in Iraq since September.
At least 11 of the Iraqi deaths occurred when mortar shells landed in residential neighborhoods. Men rushed wounded children to overcrowded emergency rooms in Sadr City hospitals, on foot because of a ban on all vehicular traffic. In some parts of Sadr City, masked militiamen bearing machine guns and grenade launchers ...
Officials at local hospitals have put the death toll in the neighborhood at more than 70 since Sunday, but it was not clear if those figures included militia fighters.
Thousands of Sadr City residents have fled for other neighborhoods. Prices in local markets were soaring as supplies dwindled, a result of suppliers' inability to bring in goods. Iraqi and U.S. forces appeared to be penetrating deeper into the neighborhood, one local journalist said.
There were no signs that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki was pulling back on his offensive against Shiite militias, which has sparked fighting between Iraqi and U.S. forces and militiamen loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Al-Maliki's deadline for fighters to hand in heavy weapons expired Tuesday, but the latest cl...
Baghdad had spent part of yesterday quieter than in recent days, because of a curfew imposed to prevent clashes and protests marking the anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein on April 9, 2003.
Al-Sadr had called for a huge march in Baghdad to mark the anniversary of Hussein's ouster and to protest the U.S. presence and al-Maliki's offensive. The cleric says the offensive, which began March 25 in the southern city of Basra, is targeting his Mahdi Army and is a ploy to cripple his political movement in advance...
His fighters have risen up against Iraqi and U.S. forces, virtually collapsing a cease-fire that al-Sadr announced last August and that was credited with bringing a sharp drop in violence nationwide.
Although U.S. and Iraqi officials maintain that they are targeting criminal elements or "special groups" that did not abide by al-Sadr's truce, U.S. Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker acknowledged yesterday that the Basra offensive had drawn in others.
"A dangerous development in the immediate wake of the Basra operation was what appeared to be a reunification between special groups and JAM," he told lawmakers in Washington, using the acronym for al-Sadr's militia.
Crocker and Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, gave lawmakers their assessments of the war during two days of hearings in Washington that ended yesterday.
The surge in troop deaths since the Basra offensive has underscored their contention that security gains witnessed in recent months easily could be reversed. At least 30 U.S. troops have died in Iraq since the Basra operation began, most in Baghdad; at least 19 have died in Iraq so far this month, representing the high...
The deaths announced yesterday brought to at least 4,031 the number of U.S. troops to die in Iraq since the war began in March 2003. Brief military statements said three of the soldiers died in roadside bomb blasts: two in northeastern Baghdad and one east of the city. Two others died of "non-combat" injuries, statemen...
