As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations become increasingly pivotal for dealmakers in Australia, it is important for investors to feel confident in assessing transactions through an ESG lens. The ESG due diligence process evaluates a company's environmental, social, and governance factors during the pre-investment phase to evaluate the overall ESG maturity of their target and manage risk.
For buyers, investors and private equity firms looking to acquire a business, including ESG due diligence as part of the overall diligence process allows firms to evaluate investments for financial, reputational, legal and regulatory risks, while also uncovering risks that aren’t necessarily identified in other due diligence engagements.
Due diligence can also be conducted with reference to specific sustainability reporting frameworks as needed, including incorporating specific sustainability reporting requirements into the diligence process if you are also preparing for sustainability reporting.
Our specialist ESG due diligence team has expertise across multiple ESG frameworks and can help you identify what aspects of ESG are material to your decision making and where your target business is at in terms of its ESG credentials. Tailored to your needs, our team then evaluates these material ESG-related areas and assesses for potential deal implications, prioritising short-term risks and long-term value creation opportunities, and agreeing whether there are specific metrics or indicators you are interested in knowing further.
