Carlyle Group Inc. is in talks to hand the keys of sustainability consultancy Anthesis Group over to its private credit lender Bridgepoint Group Plc.

The Carlyle Group, a leading global investment firm, has long supported ESG initiatives through its portfolio of advisory services. Anthesis Group specializes in environmental, social, and governance consulting, helping companies integrate sustainable practices into their operations.

Transferring Anthesis’ operations to Bridgepoint Group would give the lender access to a robust client base and expertise that can be leveraged across its private credit platforms. The move is expected to broaden Bridgepoint’s ESG service portfolio and enhance its value proposition to investors seeking sustainable strategies.

Details remain confidential, and no official announcement has been made. The transaction, if completed, would align with both firms’ strategic objectives of expanding ESG capabilities and deepening market reach.
