Carbon Measurement in Private Equity: From Compliance Obligation to Portfolio Intelligence
Event Date:
May 28, 2026
About this webinar
Carbon reporting is no longer a voluntary exercise for PE firms. Regulatory pressure, LP expectations, and evolving frameworks are making robust emissions measurement a baseline requirement. The firms that get ahead of it now will be better positioned to manage risk, demonstrate value, and meet disclosure obligations with confidence.
This webinar is designed for ESG and sustainability leads at private equity firms who need a clear, practical understanding of how carbon measurement applies across a portfolio and how to build a reporting approach that holds up to scrutiny.
What we'll cover
Why carbon measurement is becoming non-negotiable
We'll examine the regulatory and market forces driving emissions disclosure in PE, from LP due diligence requirements to the broader shift toward mandatory reporting, and what this means for how you resource and prioritise carbon work across your firm.
Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions at the portfolio company level
A technically grounded overview of emissions categories and how they translate in a PE context: what data you should be collecting from portfolio companies, where the gaps typically are, and how to handle inconsistency across different sectors and geographies.
Carbon reduction and the SDGs
How emissions reduction activity maps to the Sustainable Development Goals and why making that link explicit matters for both internal reporting and external stakeholder communication.
The regulatory landscape: SFDR, EDCI, and beyond
A clear-eyed overview of the frameworks shaping PE reporting expectations today, including SFDR principal adverse impact indicators, EDCI metrics, and where further convergence is likely. We'll focus on what these frameworks actually require at the portfolio level, rather than the high-level principles.
Streamlining carbon data collection and reporting with KEY ESG
A practical look at how KEY ESG supports PE firms in collecting, validating, and reporting emissions data across a portfolio. This covers reducing the manual burden on both your team and your portfolio companies, and producing audit-ready outputs aligned to the frameworks that matter.
Who should attend
This session is aimed at ESG managers, sustainability directors, and responsible investment leads at private equity firms, particularly those managing SFDR obligations or responding to increasing LP scrutiny on climate-related metrics.
