ESG due diligence
See your deal through a new lens with ESG due diligence
Adding ESG due diligence can expand your vantage point on key risks and opportunities.
Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, speaking the language of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy and practices is a critical skill in today’s market. Your investors, lenders, customers, and regulators are just a few of the key stakeholders seeking better ESG data and processes – and looking to you for answers. As a buyer, you’ll want to understand the programs your target already has in place to respond to stakeholder demands. As a seller, you’ll want to thoroughly evaluate your ESG practices to showcase the value in your organization.
Our team can help you seamlessly and efficiently integrate the right ESG topics into your existing due diligence process. We explore key ESG issues to identify risks, unlock hidden value, and determine actionable diligence steps.
Examine your target’s performance with ESG due diligence

Does the company have ESG policies, procedures, or a plan in place to meet the obligations and expectations of stakeholders? Are there ESG-related risks and opportunities for your organization to be aware of?
