Advent-Oriental Appoints Sustainability Expert
Shanghai-based  Advent-Oriental Asset Management, a private equity boutique, has added Brandon Freztner to address sustainability matters within the firm and to advise portfolio companies on environmental, social and governance issues.
Freztner joins from JM Merrick where he was an associate director in the risk and sustainability team, with responsibility for leading and growing the environmental, health and safety advisory and due diligence businesses as well as aspects of the climate change business. 
“It is clear that a company’s ability to sustain returns over the long term is in part dependent upon its adherence to strong governance, sound environmental stewardship and social responsibility,” Paul Maddox of Advent-Oriental said. “We have long recognized this at Advent-Oriental and it has been a key investment consideration for some time.”
