Partnership Combines $20+ Billion in Renewable Transactions with 35 Years of Restructuring Expertise
NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Expedition Infrastructure Partners (“XIP”) and Gordian Group (“Gordian”) today announced a strategic partnership to provide restructuring and capital solutions advisory services to equity sponsors and developers in the renewable power sector. The collaboration addresses growing demand for specialized expertise as regulatory changes and capital market volatility create challenges across clean energy markets.
The renewable energy sector faces disruption from regulatory policy shifts and evolving capital market conditions. Capital availability has tightened aggressively, particularly for earlier and mid-stage development assets or portfolios. At the same time, sponsors and developers that secured investment based upon to-be-realized value in large and long-dated development pipelines are seeing the economics of those assets erode, either compressing or disappearing entirely.
“Market disruption creates opportunity for those with the right expertise,” said Rob Sternthal, Managing Partner of XIP. “Our partnership provides developers and sponsors with specialized knowledge to navigate this environment and emerge stronger.”
XIP brings renewable power investment banking leadership with over $20 billion in collective transaction experience across capital structure optimization, M&A, asset sales, and strategic partnerships. Select current renewable engagements include utility-scale solar and battery storage projects ranging from development-stage assets to multi-gigawatt operating portfolios.
Gordian contributes 35 years of restructuring expertise with 310 completed engagements, including extensive clean energy experience across battery power companies, energy storage systems, geothermal ventures, and power equipment manufacturers.
“Our partnership allows us to apply restructuring expertise specifically to renewable energy markets where regulatory changes create both risks and opportunities,” said Peter Kaufman, President of The Gordian Group.
The XIP-Gordian partnership provides comprehensive services including restructuring advisory, capital solutions, strategic advisory, and crisis management for renewable power sponsors and developers. Their focus is exclusively on equity holder interests rather than representing creditors or lenders.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly High-level Week, the Coalition for Sustainable Procurement convened for the first time, announcing its founding members and formally launching a joint public-private effort to embed sustainability into procurement and supply chains at a global scale. Led by the UN Global Compact, the Coalition will help companies move from policy intent to practical implementation — turning purchasing power into a lever for climate action, nature protection, decent work and resilient growth.
The Coalition’s founding members are Altus Power, Inc., BBVA, Concept 4 Limited, Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd., Intrepid Travel, JDE Peet’s N.V., KPMG, Outokumpu Oyj, PPC Group, ReNew Pvt Ltd., S&P Global Inc., Safaricom PLC, Schneider Electric SE, Vita Forte Inc. and Watch and Jewellery Initiative 2030. Their commitment signals a new phase of collaboration to scale responsible sourcing, accelerate supplier decarbonization and due diligence, and open global value chains to small and medium-sized enterprises.
Hosted at the Chrysler Building in New York, the forum centred on a high-level public-private dialogue that brought together Chief Procurement Officers, sustainability leaders, ministers and policymakers. Participants underscored the pivotal role of the public sector — not only through enabling regulatory frameworks, but also by integrating sustainability criteria in government purchasing to set market-shaping norms that the private sector can follow at speed and scale. The discussion focused on aligning policy with sustainable development priorities; sharing real-world barriers and solutions across regions and industries; and charting practical avenues for cooperation that make sustainable procurement the default, not the exception.
Coinciding with the convening, the Coalition issued its first publication, Procurement: A Catalyst for Sustainable Growth and Resilience. The report maps the current state of sustainable procurement, identifies gaps and emerging trends, and consolidates essential frameworks, tools and case studies from practitioners. It is designed to help organizations integrate ESG into purchasing decisions, strengthen supplier engagement and build more resilient, transparent supply chains.
Looking ahead, the Coalition will prioritize several areas of action:
- A platform for public–private collaboration — enabling leading supply chain owners to bring firm-level data and real case examples of challenges and innovations in driving sustainable supply chains. This will generate insights and serve as a bridge to help inform policymaking as regulatory frameworks advance globally.
- Common direction and practical guidance — shared guidance and tools to help buyers weigh environmental and social impacts alongside cost, quality and delivery.
- Translating dialogue into action — providing a space to transform discussion into shared initiatives and practical steps that advance sustainable procurement.
By convening diverse actors around shared, practical solutions, the Coalition aims to harmonize expectations, lower transaction costs and accelerate the flow of investment into resilient and equitable supply chains. Its work will help companies operationalize commitments on climate and nature, human rights and decent work, and responsible technology — while enabling policymakers to design supportive rules that reward long-term value creation.
Organizations interested in supporting or learning more about the Coalition for Sustainable Procurement are invited to contact the UN Global Compact Sustainable Supply Chains & SMEs Team at supplychainsandsmes@unglobalcompact.org.
