Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Working Group

The CVCA is dedicated to empowering our members with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the evolving ESG landscape. We provide access to valuable education and resources, including relevant training and certification programs, to help members integrate ESG into their practices effectively. To further enhance these efforts, we are committed to supporting a robust reporting process, enabling members to gain clearer insights into what is working and where improvements can be made. By sharing best practices and celebrating members who have demonstrated significant progress in their ESG journeys, we aim to foster a continuous improvement community. Additionally, we offer guidance on available resources to ensure that our GP membership is well-supported. Through active engagement with LPs and facilitating meaningful discussions across the GP community, we strive to drive impactful dialogue and collaboration on ESG-related issues.
