Bridgepoint's own operational emissions are small, but the financed emissions it reports for its private equity, credit and infrastructure strategies are far larger, and those for credit and infrastructure rose in 2025. ECP bought the Gavin coal plant in Ohio, which POWER reports is the fifth-largest CO2-emitting power plant in the US. Its targets do not cover ECP's portfolio, and it publishes no biodiversity, waste or water data.
