After having organised sessions for the Belgian PE & VC community on the ‘what?’ and the ‘how?” of ESG, let’s take the time to collectively reflect on the ‘why?’ of sustainability. Why should we care about sustainability? Why does it matter to go beyond the compliance-angle of ESG? Why can we make a difference as investor community?
