Using Video to Enhance ESG Communication for Private Equity Firms
We live in a progressively socially conscious world so to communicate effectively how a business impacts the environment and how it governs itself becomes a crucial part of their overall strategy. Private equity firms, as responsible investors, need to communicate their ESG credentials to build trust with their like-minded investors. There are many ways Private Equity firms can use video to show their commitment to ESG this will also underpin their brand image.
Let us explore some specific ways of how video can be used to maximum effect.
Private Equity firms can utilise video to communicate their ESG principles for both their own firm and also throughout their portfolios. Video can be used to cover future strategies and performance all with the upmost transparently and accountability. This can be discussed, on camera, by the ESG team members to further authenticate their positions on responsible investment practices, ESG integration processes and present evidence of positive impact.
Video is so powerful at making emotional connections especially when digging deeper into success stories. PE firms can create compelling videos that highlight the many positive environmental and social outcomes that their portfolio companies are working on. This can be areas such as carbon footprint reduction, community engagement and diversity and inclusion programs. These video success stories demonstrate the tangible results of ESG focused investments.
Most Private Equity firms now have ESG teams working in house so they have direct accountability for their actions. These teams can work fast and efficient being deployed instantly for training and guidance throughout their portfolios. This enables the team to also liaise with other areas of the PE firm to work collaboratively and more efficiently with ESG related matters. Video can be used to share insights and best practices and offer up to date industry trends or emerging regulations.
Allowing investors direct access to video information about ESG performance and progress makes the Private Equity firm more streamlined in the way they work. Video reports can provide an engaging and concise format to communicate ESG data, key metrics and also future goals. Live or pre-recorded video presentations can be used to engage with investors allowing for informative Q&A sessions which reinforces the firm's commitment to their ESG pledges.
ESG videos are not just for the boardroom or online webinars they have a potentially more far reaching audience on social media. Private Equity firms should create social media specific videos to engage with a bigger audience. Promoting these types of videos on all the prominent social channels will spread the message far and wide planting them into the hearts and minds of potential investors, ESG focused organisations and industry influencers. This social media presence will enhance the firm's reputation as a leading responsible investor.
We continue to help the PE sector with both internal and external video projects.
