Our ESG team were titled Corporate Finance House of the Year at the 2025 Real Deals Sustainable Investment Awards, adding another trophy following last year’s recognition.
Over the qualifying period, our experienced team worked across multiple transactions, further expanding its expertise to help clients embed ESG as a true value driver within their growth strategies.
The Sustainable Investment Awards celebrate the most forward-thinking approaches to sustainable investing, recognising private equity firms and advisers who are embedding sustainability frameworks within portfolio companies to drive meaningful, measurable change.
Our ESG Impact strategy drives our sustainability ambitions through four clear pillars with measurable targets across the business. From ambitious DE&I goals and SBTi-aligned carbon reduction targets to our pledge to invest 3% of profits in social mobility, our approach turns purpose into action.
We support private equity clients at every stage of the investment lifecycle - embedding ESG into strategy, driving performance, and preparing for successful exits. Our proprietary ESG Health Check provides powerful benchmarking insights and readiness assessments, helping funds meet disclosure requirements and strengthen long-term value.
Our team has proudly supported clients including Lifetime Group, JSM, Teacheractive, and Kartesia, helping each develop and implement strategic ESG approaches tailored to their business goals.

I’m delighted that the ESG team, led by Jo, continues to receive this recognition from the market.”
Jo Daley, Head of Impact, added:
“We are thrilled to receive the Corporate Finance House of the Year title once again this year.

For our team, it’s a proud moment reflecting our shared commitment to driving meaningful, measurable change for our clients.”
