Employee ownership and profit participation schemes can 'drive some good outcomes' outside of an investor's impact allocation, according to senior portfolio analyst Alex Owen.

Boston-based pension fund is the latest LP to become a member of Ownership Works and EDCI.

Sustainability-related initiatives are clearly focused on material, impactful, financial objectives, if comments at NEXUS 2025 this week are anything to go by.

The empathy of the CEO is a decisive factor in whether an employee ownership programme has an impact, says KKR's Pete Stavros at NEXUS 2025.

As well as delivering impact, employee ownership schemes drive value in businesses, Philip Reeves, co-founder of Apis & Heritage Capital Partners and one of our sustainable private markets influencers, tells The New Private Markets Podcast.

Having helped establish the practice of broad-based employee ownership in private equity buyouts, Stavros - a speaker at next week's NEXUS 2025 conference - is now eyeing another route to create wealth among working families, he tells The New Private Markets Podcast.

Last week, Investcorp Strategic Capital Group announced it had joined Ownership Works, making it the shared ownership organisation's first GP staking partner.

An essential ingredient to a good employee ownership plan is communication, says Riverside managing partner Jeremy Holland.

Michael Bruun, private equity co-head at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, believes spreading ownership among portflio company workforces is a trend that 'will stay with us independent of where the cycle sits'.

The pension has reduced the size of its re-ups, and in some cases not re-upped at all, on the basis over concerns about portfolio company labour practices, said private equity investment director Anton Orlich.
