In this episode of Sustainable Intelligence, we are joined by Ben Morley, Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). Ben leads BCG’s support for the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI), a global collaboration uniting over 500 GPs and LPs to standardize ESG data across the private markets.

Ben shares how the EDCI has evolved from a collective action challenge into a benchmark covering 9,000 portfolio companies and 230,000 data points. We explore emerging sustainability trends, the link between ESG performance and value creation, and how better benchmarking is driving measurable impact across private equity, credit, and infrastructure.
