ESG as an opportunity, not just as a risk

Sustainability, governance and social impact can no longer be left out of the transaction process. We identify ESG risks early and translate them into concrete agreements and opportunities.

What ESG Due Diligence delivers for your organisation

Buyers, sellers, financiers and other stakeholders want insight into the ESG risks and opportunities connected with a business and the proposed deal. With a targeted ESG due diligence you get a grip on subjects such as climate risk, working conditions, supply chain responsibility and governance.

ESG never stands on its own. We align our ESG analysis with legal and financial due diligence and with the tax and strategic choices in the transaction, so that one coherent picture emerges. Not a separate ESG report that does not connect with the rest of the file.

We do this in three ways:

With an ESG due diligence that ranges from a compact quick scan to an in-depth investigation, depending on what is material for your deal
With concrete contractual arrangements, from warranties and indemnities to linking earn-outs to ESG performance
And with a pragmatic ESG roadmap for after closing, with clear priorities, objectives and KPIs

What does an ESG Due Diligence involve?

ESG DD is an investigation into the main environmental, social and governance aspects of a business in the run-up to a transaction. It maps out material risks and points of attention that could affect the value, continuity, reputation or feasibility of the deal.

Which ESG risks can have an impact on the transaction?

Above all, risks that can lead to financial obligations, reputational damage or restrictions on business operations: think of missing permits, safety incidents, historical environmental problems or integrity issues.

How we approach it

From the first materiality analysis to the ESG roadmap after closing.

Step 1

ESG due diligence, quick scans and reviews

We map out which ESG themes are material for your business and the transaction, from the environment to governance.

Step 2

ESG provisions in transaction documentation

We translate findings into concrete arrangements: warranties, indemnities and conditions relating to policy and compliance.

Step 3

ESG roadmap and integration

We help you think about how ESG is integrated into the organisation after closing, with a practical roadmap and KPIs.
