GP Advisory Committee

We are grateful to have the guidance of our General Partner Advisory Committee—a group of leading private investment firms who embody purpose and authenticity in their approach to ESG.

At THL, we believe that effective ESG practices can positively impact the performance of our Firm, private equity funds and portfolio companies. We look forward to sharing our insights and collaborating with Novata and its LP and GP advisory committees on this important ESG initiative.
