Blackstone to buy ESG software provider Sphera in $1.4 bln deal

 

Blackstone Group Inc said on Tuesday it will buy Sphera, a environmental, social and governance (ESG) software, data and consulting services provider, from private equity firm Genstar Capital in a $1.4 billion deal.

 

Chicago, Illinois-based Sphera has more than 3,000 customers and is present in over 100 countries. Its offerings allow organizations to measure and manage their performance and risk exposure pertaining to their ESG activities. Blackstone has been trying to strengthen its ESG credentials as investors and lawmakers across the globe increasingly question companies about their environmental and social impact, pushing major global businesses to make significant investments in their ESG initiatives. The private equity giant had asked executives in its portfolio companies to report on their ESG matters to their boards for the first time, Reuters reported in early May. โ€œThe increasing importance of ESG issues to businesses globally is a key thematic investing focus for Blackstone,โ€ said Eli Nagler, senior managing director at Blackstone.

Large Explosion Rocks Iranian Oil Field Near Iraq Border, Leaving Multiple Dead

 

Iranian state media is reporting that a severe explosion has rocked an oil field in the western Ilam province which borders Iraq on Tuesday afternoon identified as the Cheshmeh Khosh field.

 

English language Mehr News cites "reports coming in saying that two people have been killed while another is injured" and featured a photo showing a massive fireball rising above the facility. Bloomberg subsequently cited local reports which updated to "Three oil workers killed and four injured in explosion on pipeline that transfers oil from the Cheshmeh Khosh field."

 

It's a relatively small field, with official sources estimating an average of 18,000 barrels per day of crude oil production capacity.

 

Iran's oil producing regions have been known to experience occasional serious accidents and fires, but with the final rounds of nuclear negotiations happening in Vienna, and with Israel being behind past 'sabotage' incidents, naturally there remains the possibility of attack.

 

The new Tuesday incident comes after yesterday a large mysterious fire was reported outside Tehran.

 

"A large fire was reported at a warehouse or factory next to a highway near Tehran on Monday afternoon, with the purpose of the warehouse and the background of the incident as of yet unclear," The Jerusalem Post reported.

I have received this image from someone who claims the photo is for today's fire at Shahid Sani Khani (SSK), taken by the sender himself. (the image has not geolocation info & i am not in a position to verify its authenticity). pic.twitter.com/WSkEKDybhaโ€” Farhad Rezaei (@Farhadrezaeii) July 5, 2021

 

"The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency reported that the fire was near Karaj, the city where an alleged attack targeted a nuclear facility reportedly used to produce centrifuges."
