Case Study: a global private equity firm reduces audit costs and eliminates consulting fees with Persefoni

How a global private equity firm decreased audit costs by nearly 30% and eliminated expensive consulting fees

A global private equity firm, known for its leadership in impact investing, needed to accurately understand its operational carbon footprint and the emissions from its vast investment portfolio. Their previous process, which relied heavily on consultants, was complex and inefficient, challenged by disparate data sources and an inability to analyze the primary drivers of emissions. Seeking a streamlined solution, the firm partnered with Persefoni and its Climate Management and Accounting Platform (CMAP) for its financial sector expertise and carbon accounting capabilities.

By implementing Persefoni's platform, the firm gained a centralized system to rigorously calculate its emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol and PCAF standards. This solution provided the visibility needed to make actionable decisions and streamlined the entire audit and assurance process. As a result, Persefoni helped the firm decrease its audit costs by nearly 30%, completely eliminate expensive consulting fees, and free up employee bandwidth to focus on higher-impact activities.
