In this episode of Turbo Impact, Ben Morley, Partner and Director at Boston Consulting Group, joins host Kenny Chen to explore how the ESG Data Convergence Initiative (EDCI) is creating a common language for sustainability across private markets. What began as a collaboration among a small group of GPs and LPs has grown into a global initiative representing more than 500 investors and providing sustainability insights from approximately 9,000 portfolio companies.

Drawing on the EDCI benchmark, Ben highlights where private companies are leading, where gaps remain, and how performance evolves over the ownership period. He shares practices that connect sustainability data with commercial outcomes and portfolio company buy-in, while examining the emerging priorities revealed by EDCI’s growing body of insights—and what they could mean for the next phase of private-market value creation.

Key Topics Covered

• Why fragmented sustainability reporting created a collective challenge for private markets
• How industry-led convergence improves comparability while keeping metrics practical
• What EDCI data reveals about portfolio performance over the ownership period
• How leaders build portfolio company buy-in by connecting sustainability with business priorities
• Turning data and benchmarks into stronger operating and investment decisions
• Emerging convergence areas across workforce strategy, cybersecurity, and responsible AI

In this episode of Turbo Impact, Shami Nissan, Head of Sustainability at Actis, joins host Kenny Chen to discuss how sustainability is reshaping the way infrastructure investors build, operate, and scale long-duration assets. For Actis, the starting point is clear: sustainability must protect value, create value, and support better long-term investment outcomes.

Grounded in Actis’ “values drive value” philosophy, Shami explains how sustainability can move from principle to practice when it is embedded into investment judgment, asset resilience, and operating performance. The conversation extends this lens to the next generation of infrastructure, including sustainable data centers amid rising AI-driven demand and the use of technology to strengthen resilience across physical assets.

Key Topics Covered

• The shift from sustainability process to sustainability as investment discipline
• Climate resilience as a core driver of long-term infrastructure value
• Community trust as a material factor in infrastructure execution and risk management
• Sustainable data centers amid rising AI-driven demand for power, water, and digital capacity
• Technology’s role in improving infrastructure resilience, operating performance, and measurable impact

In this episode of Turbo Impact, Suzanne Tavill, Partner and Global Head of Responsible Investment at StepStone Group, joins host Kenny Chen to reflect on where responsible investment in private markets stands today, and what its next chapter may require. Suzanne describes an industry moving past the belief that frameworks and reporting alone can define progress. The more important question now is whether responsible investment can be translated into disciplined judgment, credible execution, and better long-term businesses.

For Suzanne, this shift demands a more practical and leadership-driven approach. GPs need to start with where they can genuinely make a difference, build capabilities that match their strategy, and ensure sustainability is understood by investment teams as part of value creation, not as a separate workstream. The conversation also explores how LP–GP engagement must become more focused on outcomes and evidence, why technology and AI are now central to responsible investment, and why empowered individuals remain essential to driving change, even in a more technology-enabled world.

Key Topics Covered

• Why responsible investment is entering a more mature phase focused on value creation
• How GPs can identify where they can credibly make a difference across their portfolios
• What distinguishes sustainability as investment judgment from sustainability as process
• How LP–GP engagement can move toward more focused, outcome-oriented dialogue
• Why leadership, talent, and responsible technology will shape the next chapter of the field
