Dasseti Partners with Invest Europe to Strengthen ESG Data Collection for Private Markets

Dasseti is pleased to announce a new partnership with Invest Europe, the association representing Europe's private equity, venture capital, and infrastructure sectors, along with their investors.

This collaboration enables limited partners (LPs) using Harvest by Dasseti to collect ESG data from general partners (GPs) at the portfolio company level in a structured, harmonized format that aligns with Invest Europe’s leading ESG reporting framework. It marks another important step in Dasseti’s ongoing commitment to improving transparency, efficiency, and standardization in private markets ESG reporting.

Streamlined ESG Data Collection and Reporting

Through Dasseti’s unique Holdings Module, GPs can seamlessly upload portfolio holdings into a standardized tabular format within the platform. Dasseti’s powerful AI capabilities further enhance efficiency by extracting relevant information from existing documents and enabling GPs to reuse data across multiple investor requests.

Key ESG data points, at the GP, fund and portfolio company levels, are centrally accessible within the platform. Users have the flexibility to define the level of reporting granularity they require. In addition, ESG data can be exported directly into the Invest Europe template format, simplifying onward submission to the European Data Cooperative (EDC), subject to appropriate permissions.

Benefits for LPs and GPs

The partnership offers tangible advantages to both LP and GP users of Dasseti’s platform:

For LPs:

• Simplified aggregation and analysis of ESG data across multiple managers and strategies.
• Accelerated internal reporting cycles for regulatory disclosures and stakeholder communications.
• Improved benchmarking of portfolio company ESG performance through standardized datasets.
• Reduced need for bespoke data requests and clarifications, minimizing administrative burden.

For GPs:

• The ability to satisfy multiple LP ESG data requests with a single standardized submission.
• Greater efficiency through the reuse of existing information and minimized manual data entry.
• Enhanced transparency credentials by aligning with leading industry standards.
• Optional facilitation of data sharing with the EDC, supporting best practices in ESG transparency.

This partnership ensures that both LPs and GPs can meet increasing ESG disclosure requirements with greater operational efficiency, data quality, and confidence.

A Shared Commitment to ESG Excellence

Commenting on the announcement, Billy Cotter, Head of ESG at Dasseti, said:

"The Invest Europe partnership builds further on Dasseti’s commitment to making the sustainability data collection and submission process as easy as possible for the thousands of GPs responding to data requests on our platform.

As more of our LP clients utilise the Invest Europe template for data collection, this partnership underlines our commitment to continuously improve and adapt to changing client requirements. Maximising limited resources to attain maximum output is key to our ongoing mission. Combining direct partnerships with frameworks like Invest Europe and our suite of AI-enabled tools further builds on our commitment to enhance efficiencies and access to data for clients and managers responding through our platform."

This development forms part of Dasseti’s broader strategy to deliver AI-powered, future-ready solutions to help institutional investors and managers meet their regulatory, sustainability, and operational due diligence obligations.
