Investors push alternative managers closer on ESG
Megan Starr said Carlyle believes climate-related financial disclosure will be in great demand.
Alternative investment managers are stepping up their environmental, social, and corporate governance efforts including diversity and inclusion, pushed along by investors increasing demands for accountability.
