ESG Maturity Private Equity: Germany Market Study 2025

With this study, EthiFinance analysed 50 leading PE providers in Germany on their implementation of ESG standards. The European ESG rating agency developed a set of 34 criteria to assess the 50 largest private equity asset managers operating in Germany based on publicly available information. An ESG Maturity Score was created, evaluating firms across five core areas: ESG strategy, ESG resources, transparency, ESG frameworks, and SFDR & SRI labels.
