The theoretical perspective examines the background of concepts such as sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and value creation. It covers European Commission policies and regulations, such as the EU Green Deal and Taxonomy framework, and examines the financial background of private equity and the Nordic business model's compliance with sustainable development.
The study adopts a qualitative research approach, presenting a cross-case analysis. The empirical data is collected through semi-structured interviews of five Nordic Private Equity firms.
Sustainable development trends impact the operations and investment strategies of Private Equity firms, with Nordic firms emphasizing value creation to address societal demands. Firms consider ESG performance and risks, highlighting the need for greater transparency and reporting guidelines. The EU's sustainability reporting regulations are seen as crucial for transparency and consistency. (Less)
