Great Hill Partners, a private equity firm that invests in high-growth, disruptive companies, today announced the publication of the Firm’s second annual ESG Report. As a Firm, our primary objective is to generate attractive, risk-adjusted returns for our limited partners. Consistent with this objective, we believe that ESG, alongside other financial and business factors, supports a comprehensive investment philosophy by helping improve performance and reduce risk.
Since the publication of our inaugural ESG Report, we have continued to evolve our ESG practices and programs. In 2024, we became signatories to the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI) to help support convergence around meaningful ESG metrics for the private equity industry. We believe that generating useful, performance-based, and comparable ESG data through the EDCI not only benefits our Firm, but also our portfolio companies and limited partners. We also took several additional steps to help strengthen and mature our ESG program, including updating our ESG Policy, hosting an ESG educational session for portfolio companies, sending an inaugural ESG survey to LPs, and hosting four internal, sector-specific ESG trainings.

Great Hill Partners remains committed to staying abreast of ESG developments and best practices. We welcome questions and feedback from our stakeholders. Please contact our ESG Specialist, Paige Shetty if you wish to ask questions, provide feedback, or discuss the Report further.
