Smarter ESG Due Diligence for Private Markets

Joining us today is David Wingate, Manager on Novata’s Advisory team, to explore how ESG due diligence is evolving from a fragmented, qualitative process to a streamlined, data-driven approach that connects sustainability and financial outcomes.David explains why sustainability data needs to stay consistent from diligence through to exit, how focusing on material, decision-useful metrics unlocks value, and the risks of collecting too much, or the wrong, data. He shares what investors should prioritize over the next three to five years and offers his take on the most overrated ESG metric, the red flag he never ignores, and the one word that sums up the future of ESG due diligence.
