Mergers & Acquisitions is seeking nominations for the inaugural Best Places to Work in Private Equity Awards. This award will recognize private equity firms who demonstrate leadership and innovation in their workplace cultures, policies and internal operations. The award will go to firms that demonstrate initiative and acknowledge the changing demands in a post-pandemic world, as well as the emphasis now being placed on important topics such as Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
Our awards program continues to evolve with the industry. Because ESG is now more commonplace in PE and DEI continues to gain traction, we are incorporating some of the criteria from our PE Innovators in ESG and M&A Leaders in DEI honors into the 2023 Best Places to Work in Private Equity and retiring the standalone ESG and DEI awards.
Nominations are due Friday, June 30. Honorees will be announced in the September/October issue of Mergers & Acquisitions magazine as well as our website – www.TheMiddleMarket.com.
