The Carlyle Group Releases Latest in ValuCast Podcast Series

“Sustainability – Doing Good While Doing Well”

Washington, DC – Global alternative asset manager The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) today released the latest in its ValuCast audio podcast series, “Sustainability – Doing Good While Doing Well,” featuringa conversation with Jackie Roberts, Carlyle’s Chief Sustainability Officer, and Barrett Karr, who leads the firm’s US Government Affairs.

In this newly-created role, Ms. Roberts serves three core audiences: deal teams, portfolio companies and investors. She helps to educate all parties on how sustainability helps to de-risk investments, create value for investors and change the conversation at Carlyle on the intersection of sustainability and its investments.

The podcast discusses:

• How ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) offers new tools to expand traditional drivers of value such as marketing, operations, procurement, and so on


• Examples of how sustainability can add value to portfolio companies  (e.g., how Axalta’s waterborne paints helped it win new business)


• How to turn risk into opportunity


• How to grow a brand through sustainability


• The potential dangers of not practicing ESG
