Our solutions for ESG due diligence
Are you planning a corporate transaction or are you already involved in an M&A? Then you should also have an eye on ESG's environmental, social, and governance aspects for your financial due diligence. The current or foreseeable regulatory requirements in these areas have a direct impact on the development and value of your company or planned acquisition. The aim is to identify and assess potential future risks that may arise from past and future entrepreneurial activities.
Here you will find an overview of all the relevant basic information about ESG, due diligence, and corporate value.
Our approach
Not every company is exposed to the same ESG-related risks. Risk profiles differ depending on the company’s industry and market environment. If you are also planning to sell or buy, you can draw on the expertise and market knowledge of our experts before any possible transaction. Our experienced consultants and analysts will identify any sustainability-related risks in your company at an early stage, thereby significantly boosting the efficiency of your sales processes. Similarly, as a buyer, you profit from the fact that sustainability aspects are being considered directly together with the financial due diligence aspects during the M&A process. This helps you avoid financially relevant remediation obligations or, in the worst case, risks to your reputation.
Our tools & solutions
We review ESG issues for you as part of the "traditional" financial due diligence. ESG-related aspects of the company's organisation and activities can also be specifically addressed in our cross-functional review and analysis of ESG opportunities and risks. We consider the sustainability risks and assess the potential negative effects these could have on your company’s operations and value. Our specifically developed software tool supports you by providing simulations and scenario calculations to assess the consequences of changes to the different framework conditions and variables. In addition, our audit enables us to identify opportunities to potentially boost corporate value and optimise the ESG rating.
We offer you the following services as part of our ESG-related financial due diligence:
- Definition of the scope in accordance with current regulatory sustainability requirements
- Identification and classification of key sustainability KPIs
- Creation and updating of ESG checklists
- Qualification and quantification of sustainability opportunities and risks
- Analysis of the sustainability and climate strategy
- Review of the business model and planning with regard to ESG aspects
- Development of the necessary measures
Your benefit
You profit from a financial due diligence that covers all the essential ESG aspects and are prepared for any issues that appear inconsequential at first glance. Our multi-disciplinary teams will gladly assist you with ESG-related legal or tax issues.
