Just weeks after reporting that we’d been shortlisted in six categories of the Thames Valley Dealmakers Awards, we are thrilled to announce that WestBridge has been shortlisted in the Small Cap category of The Real Deals ESG Awards 2022. These national awards have been created to recognise the efforts and success of private equity firms as they work towards implementing effective ESG policies into their own practices and across portfolio companies, while also continuing to deliver strong returns.
We were particularly pleased that our ESG operating partner, Sustainable Advantage, supported our submission with the following quote:
“WestBridge stands out as one of the few ‘non-impact’ funds that has a fully comprehensive ESG programme as part of their value creation model in the lower-mid market. Individual companies being assessed and the ESG portal are absolutely class leading.”
The winners will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on 30 November. We send our best wishes to everyone else who’s been shortlisted across the categories.
STOP PRESS … STOP PRESS … STOP PRESS …
It has just been announced that our portfolio company APEM was named runner-up in the Global Environment Analyst Sustainability Consulting Awards held in Denver, Colorado - a significant achievement. The category, Specialised M&A of the Year, was created to recognise the achievements of SMEs from across the world who are ‘punching above their weight globally to push the sustainability transition in their own unique way.’
