2024-2025 Private equity impact report: Accelerating solutions for a world in transition

A message from Rekha Unnithan, our Global Head of Private Equity Impact

The world continues to be challenged by intertwined crises: escalating GHG emissions driving climate change, growing waste straining our resources, and growing inequality that amplifies vulnerability to both. At Nuveen Private Equity Impact, we believe that climate change and inequality are inextricably linked. Despite recent global market and regulatory shifts, we remain focused on backing growth oriented, lower-middle market companies that are driving an inclusive transition to a low-carbon economy. We maintain confident in the long-term fundamentals of investing where impact initiatives are not a trade-off but are directly aligned with performance.
