Summary

Carla helped engage with BC Partners portfolio companies to collect and validate ESG data to calculate a full carbon footprint of BC Partners Funds and complete on-time delivery of ESG commitments and investor requests.

Goals

BC Partners is a leading alternative investment manager with over $40 billion of assets under management across private equity, credit, and real estate in Europe and North America. Over the summer BC Partners engaged Climate Corps Fellow Carla Woebcken to engage with BC Partners portfolio companies to collect and validate ESG data to calculate a full carbon footprint of BC Partners Funds and complete on-time delivery of ESG commitments and investor requests.

Solutions

1. Portfolio Company Engagement: Carla supported engagement with over 30 of BC Partners portfolio companies across the globe. She helped to assess over 100 ESG KPIs addressing environmental and climate issues, social and governance metrics. 2. Carbon Footprint: Using her technical background in carbon accounting, Carla aggregated and analyzed the carbon data and calculated scope 1 and 2 emissions as well as BC Partners financed emissions. 3. Investor requests: Carla supported in responding to LP ESG inquiries using the ESG KPIs and carbon footprint calculation.

Potential Impact

Carla's work will allow BC Partners to gain a holistic picture of the ESG-related exposure and resilience of their investment portfolio. Her project will ultimately support long-term value creation by helping to identify and prioritize ESG issues and opportunities across portfolio companies.
