Background
The Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP) is a nonprofit watchdog organization focused on the growing private equity and broader private funds industry.
PESP was founded in 2017 to address the growing impacts of private equity and private funds managers on people and the planet, and to serve as a resource to communities, individuals, and organizations grappling with such impacts.
PESP focuses on five key areas affected by private equity: climate and energy, workers & jobs, housing, healthcare, and detention & surveillance.
Vision
We envision a world where private investments benefit people and the planet rather than driving inequality, and the private equity industry’s market control and political power are effectively regulated.
Mission
The mission of the Private Equity Stakeholder Project is to bring transparency and accountability to the private equity industry and help empower impacted communities.
