Advantary, LLC announces the launch of its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practice to help our Advantary Services Group clients understand and address the regulatory reporting requirements in the US and Europe. The ESG Practice will also analyze and support both Advantary Capital Partners and our limited partner investor base to understand the opportunities for impact investing within our growing portfolio.

The ESG Practice will be led by Raj Daniels. Raj, who joins Advantary as a Partner this week , brings many years of experience in the CleanTech and ESG sectors. Joining Raj is David Cary, who also joins Advantary this week as Partner. David brings 30 years of global wealth management experience to the Advantary ESG Practice. With them, Advantary now has over 20 Partners and Operating Partners.

“We’re privileged to have Raj and David and their deep understanding of ESG and impact investing join Advantary,” said Stephen Kuhn, Managing Partner at Advantary. “Advantary’s mission is to bring impact and ESG to both our clients at Advantary Services Group (ASG) but also to our portfolio companies at Advantary Capital Partners (ACP). Raj and David build on the foundation of that mission.”

What Is Behind the Need for ESG and Impact?

Regulatory requirements are driving public companies to disclose ESG-related reports. Sustainability is no longer a trend for outlier businesses—it's marching down Main Street and mainstream. 

“All businesses of any size that are hoping to transact within the broader business ecosystem must consider ESG as a strategic priority from the board to the executive team to the rest of the company,” says Raj Daniels. “For business leaders and fiduciaries to shareholders and stakeholders alike, now is the time to get ahead of future regulations and your competition by designing and executing a Sustainability Plan and implementing practices to both reduce their environmental footprint as well as attract investors, retain talent, and boost customer loyalty.”

David Cary added, “I have known Stephen Kuhn and Advantary for many years, and have seen how they assemble incredibly competent teams. I am thrilled to now be a part of those teams. If your company’s mission is properly aligned with a cause, you have access to a wider variety of capital, and thus, more capital. We can help with that.”

Companies and investors wishing to understand ESG effects and impact investing should contact Raj Daniels (raj.daniels@advantary.co) and David Cary (david.cary@advantary.co).
