The subject of sustainability has already reached every sector of the economy. For M&A deals its brings both opportunities and risks.
ESG stands for Environment, Social and Governance. These three aspects have been around since at least Fridays for Future. The challenges that ESG poses also bring great potential. They can have a massive impact on planned deals. A good ESG rating can become a real driver of value, having the effect of creating trust and thought for the future. Precisely for this reason must an ESG strategy and implementation of it be part of considerations in an M&A deal.
As part of conducting our due diligence, we identify sector-specific factors that also play a part in the ESG rating. These factors can have an enormous effect on the overall business valuation.
ESG ratings with Grant Thornton
Ratings require objective values. The experts at Grant Thornton with experience in various industries have made it their mission to compile sector-specific catalogues of criteria based on international frameworks, designed with mid-market companies in mind.
In close collaboration with the international Grant Thornton Network and utilising in-depth knowledge of their industry, our experts identify and evaluate ESG criteria.
Evaluations at Grant Thornton are made according to objectively measured criteria that lead to a clear and understandable ESG rating with a particular point score. Based on this you can objectively value your M&A deal by economic sector.
With the experts at Grant Thornton you can discuss the opportunities and risks brought out by the assessment on a sound basis.
Our assessment services include the following areas:
- Environmental: environment management systems, effects on ecosystems, etc.,
- Social: health and safety at work, working conditions, equal opportunities, product safety, etc.,
- Governance: Risk management systems, data protection, compliance, internal systems of control, etc.
Contact our expert and Partner Alexander Griesmeier directly and find out about our ESG ratings.
