If you have a deal that is not particularly ESG friendly and is a bit loud, would you include on your resume for PE recruiting? I am wondering because it is one of the few I had good experience on the deal (eg: led due dilligence), but realize that the company has been a source of negative headlines for the nature of its business (not energy/environment).

I mean at the end of the day yes would include it - it's not exactly your choice which company your firm wanted to pursue. Just be prepared to speak to it though - and "non-ESG" can be something as innocuous as candy/fatty foods to things that are probably more problematic like private prisons.
Thanks - I mean something on the loud headline side and more problematic, but large sponsor backing - this was from a credit financing for the sponsor. I just am worried that while a good transaction from an experience perspective, it could come across as "poor judgment" to have on my resume
Have other deals but this one is pretty solid because I built an understanding of the space, etc.

Unless you're interviewing for an ESG-specific fund no one is going to care, and even then deal experience is deal experience. At the end of the day PE funds care about hiring people who know how to make money, they're not too focused on how.
