The connection between market forces and corporate citizenship in private equity

Market-based forces play a significant role in a company's survival and success, regardless of the external environment. A company's focus on citizenship, diversity, inclusion, philanthropy, and ESG factors can be integrated into private equity operations. Philanthropic initiatives are often enabled by business success, with a fixed percent of annual profits allocated to charities. Additionally, prioritizing environmental, social, and governance factors is not only beneficial for the planet but also enables business growth.
