Although used loosely to describe any two parties that invest alongside each other in the same company, this term has a special meaning when referring to limited partners in a fund. If a limited partner in a fund has co-investment rights, it can invest directly in a company that is also backed by the private equity fund. The institution therefore ends up with two separate stakes in the company—one indirectly through the fund; one directly in the company. Some private equity firms offer co-investment rights to encourage institutions to invest in their funds.

A growing number of developers are announcing the successful project financing of their co-located battery storage projects. This is remarkable progress given that as recently as in 2018, grid scale batteries were regarded as a nascent asset class, and many financiers have written them off as unsuitable for project finance. This Practice Note discusses some of the key considerations for both lenders and developers seeking to project finance co-located battery storage projects.

Co-op has become the first retailer to publish a pay gap report based specifically on socioeconomic background. The report collected data submitted voluntarily from 48% of its 57,000 employees, finding a mean pay gap of 5.2% between those of a higher and of a lower socioeconomic background. Employees from a lower socioeconomic background are also less likely to progress into more senior positions, according to the data. As a result of the findings, Co-op has 'doubled down' on its Social Mobility Plan, including campaigning for the government to make socioeconomic background a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010. Co-op has also set a target of collecting 80% of socioeconomic employee data for the next 12 months.
