Sustainability in private equity is evolving — moving beyond compliance, reporting, and checklists toward real operational impact. In this episode of 0100 Impact Talks, Fredrik Franke, Head of Sustainability at Norvestor, shares how the Nordic buyout firm embeds sustainability into its investment strategy to drive long-term value across its portfolio.
The conversation explores how Norvestor supports mid-market companies in turning climate and regulatory challenges into growth opportunities, sets higher standards for ESG integration, and approaches responsible ownership in a rapidly changing European market.
Founded in 1991, Norvestor is a leading Nordic private equity firm focused on mid-market buyouts, with offices in Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Copenhagen, and Luxembourg. The firm has completed 75 investments, more than 300 add-on acquisitions, and 51 exits — including 15 IPOs — helping scale companies into Nordic and international leaders through organic growth and strategic M&A.
As private equity adapts to a prolonged high-cost environment, investors are being forced to rethink how they source deals, create value, and deploy capital. Ahead of her appearance at 0100 Europe (April 21–23), we spoke with Geraldine O’Keeffe, Partner at EQT Healthcare Growth, about how one of Europe’s leading investment platforms is transiting today’s market dynamics—across healthcare, technology, and beyond.
