300+ GPs are now part of the ESG Data Convergence Initiative
While the EDCI was founded to serve the Private Equity industry, the initiative now welcomes Infrastructure and Private Credit investors to join, contribute data and access the benchmark and insights.
The EDCI encourages all private market GPs and their portfolio companies to benchmark their current position, streamline ESG data requests from LPs and Private Creditors, and generate progress toward Sustainability improvements.

What does it mean for General Partners to be part of this initiative?
To participate, GPs agree to:
- Determine funds that will take part in the initiative (while we recognize GPs may start with a subset of their investment strategies, the expectation is this will increase over time, as feasible)
- On a best-efforts basis, track EDCI metrics, with an emphasis on core metrics
- Abide by the EDCI Metrics Guidance to the extent possible and explain deviations
- As requested, provide EDCI data to LPs, preferably using the data sharing functionality on the EDCI portal, or related template
- Submit data to the EDCI for participating portfolio companies by April 30 each year
- Be publicly associated with the initiative
- Voluntary: serve on working groups or self-nominate to join the Steering Committee
