Indeed, possibility is given to investors to concentrate on some companies and choose them according to their activity and their sector; it is then possible to invest in multiple sectors like renewable energies, healthcare, agriculture, or even education to optimize their overall impact. In parallel, the horizon of such investment enables investors to observe and measure these companies after investment. However, a few obstacles might hinder the MENA governments to implement sustainable changes although efforts have increasingly been made over the years. Other sectors are still overrepresented to SRI ones, since there is still a common belief that investors must choose between impact financing and financial results, while the unstable context could represent additional risk for investors. Moreover, both lack of common standards for SRI and tools to measure it, as well as the lack of consensus within MENA but also worldwide hamper the implementation of clear strategy within PE funds. Yet, responsible investing is even more required of companies by stakeholders and limited partners in PE funds. Indeed, activist funds are expected to be even more present on the sector to implement and promote sustainable changes.
