Long Ridge Equity Partners’ Post

Every business should have one goal; create value for their organization.    In some of my recent posts, I have been discussing the importance of creating value and how that plays a key role in M&A.    Although I had many promising factors, one of the key reasons that I determined F12.net was the right partner to continue my value creation journey was the PE firm, Clairvest Group backing F12 as one of their platform investments.   Congratulations to Ken Rotman, Mitch Green, and the rest of the team for being recognized by BluWave, LP as a 2024 Top PE Innovator for the third consecutive year. Their focus on Value Creation was perfectly aligned with my strategic growth strategy.   If you are interested in knowing more about F12’s value creation model or a discussion about M&A, let's connect for a leadership chat. #mergersandacquisitions #valuecreation #value

Private equity is embracing a greener future, with 75% employing ESG metrics. Meanwhile, listed companies, under public scrutiny, set their sights on net zero by 2030, influencing both acquisitions and portfolio upgrades.

A new look at our ESG Property Investor Survey to understand how different investor types are incorporating ESG metrics and ideas into their processes. For example, three-quarters of the Private Equity investors surveyed have a minimum environmental certification for assessing an asset under review for new acquisitions. Similarly, three quarters of PE investors survey use CRREM analysis on their existing portfolios and as a requirement on new buildings under review. This can be used to limit and understand stranding risk of assets and what the pathway to decarbonisation may look like. As PE shifts towards the logistics sector, we estimate that asset allocation will go from 17% logistics in 2022 (was 7% in 2018), to 26% by 2027, the requirement for greener assets will continue as demand from prospective tenants grows.
