What We Do

CGC works with asset managers, general partners, asset owners, and corporations to frame and address ESG factors as a value-enhancing aspect of core business strategy. Leveraging our in-depth capital and financial markets experience, we work in partnership with our clients to design and implement tailored, asset class specific end-to-end ESG integration frameworks that advance ESG maturity using proprietary tools and methodologies.

Who We Are

We are an independent firm with a senior management team composed of professionals each with over 20 years of global capital markets experience across investment and risk management, strategy, fund raising, corporate finance, M&A, company law, and ESG. As a boutique, we take a high-touch, pragmatic approach and our senior professionals are directly engaged on each client project.

“CGC is excited to announce the launch of our ESG integration maturity assessment tool. With increasing focus from investors on ESG factors, an asset manager’s ability to integrate ESG analysis into its investment processes has become an arbiter not only of their ability to identify and manage risk, but to also demonstrate their effectiveness at identifying value-creating opportunities. We developed the ESG Integration Maturity Assessment Tool or “MAT” to assist asset managers with assessing, scoring, and benchmarking their ESG integration practices against standardized industry best practices in a scalable technology-driven solution”
