Holtara ESG tops Walk the Talk Consultancy's benchmarking sustainability tools report

25 March 2025

Holtara has been ranked as the top performer in Walk the Talk Consultancy’s Benchmarking Sustainability Tools report. This recognition underscores our position as the leading ESG reporting platform, recognised for our innovative solutions, strategic ownership, and commitment to sustainability. Walk the Talk Consultancy evaluated 24 ESG reporting platforms, and we emerged as the best end-to-end solution, excelling in both private and public asset categories, as well as offering superior user guidance and extensive team resources

Securing the top ranking in such a comprehensive evaluation marks a significant milestone for us. The report, which assessed platforms designed to support private equity and venture capital firms, recognised us for our outstanding performance in providing tailored, transparent, and effective ESG reporting. Our ranking comes at a critical time when private market AUM is expected to reach $60-65 trillion by 2032, outpacing public market growth. With 90% of limited partners (LPs) now factoring ESG into their investment strategies and 77% using it to select general partners (GPs), having a best-in-class ESG reporting solution has never been more essential.
