We are honored to be recognized by the Private Equity International Awards 2020 as the Firm of the Year (Large-Cap North America category)*. We are also very proud to be named one of three finalists for EMEA deal of the year for our partnership investment in SIG plc. 

2020 was the Firm’s most active investment year to date with 11 transactions closed. 

Providing strategic capital to corporate, family, and founder owned businesses has been a central tenet of CD&R’s strategy for more than forty years. In 2020, we believe the constructive role that we can play providing both capital and operating capabilities to support good businesses was particularly apparent. 

To everyone who voted, thank you for your support! 
 

*The PEI’s voting procedures for this award were as follows: (i) PEI invited submissions across the categories, (ii) the PEI editorial team drew up a shortlist for each category based on these submissions and other sources, and (iii) the winners were determined by a vote of the PEI readers who could only vote once and could not vote for themselves or their firms, but were allowed to vote for alternatives outside of the shortlist.  CD&R did not compensate PEI for this award nor for nominations in other categories, but CD&R has paid for sponsored content in PEI issues, including the issue announcing the award.  Similarly, CD&R has business relationships with a range of PEI readers but did not compensate any PEI reader with respect to their vote.
