We established the Methodology Council to support the ongoing development and integrity of our ESG baseline framework.

The Council brings together a curated group of senior professionals across investment, legal, regulatory, governance, and data disciplines, contributing in their personal capacities and through ongoing specialist dialogue. Its role is to ensure that the framework remains aligned with how governance, risk, and sustainability are assessed and applied in real-world capital allocation and decision-making processes.

The purpose is not to create consensus, but to challenge assumptions, surface critical questions emerging from investment committees, and ensure that outputs remain decision-relevant, traceable, and robust under scrutiny.

Contributors and participants include individuals with backgrounds in private equity, corporate finance, international law, regulatory advisory, institutional governance, and data systems. Participation may vary over time depending on topic relevance, ongoing research priorities, and sector expertise.
