Sustainability is now a cornerstone of the deal-making agenda to protect and create value Determining the impact ESG ~ Sustainability considerations across a company’s value chain is becoming central to how many companies craft their overall business strategy. They are also shaping assessments of strategic fit, with both acquirers and targets looking to capitalize on synergies arising from companies with aligned ESG profiles.
Regulation, Scrutiny, Demands. Companies are under pressure from increasing regulation, stronger investor scrutiny and greater consumer demands. Companies that make rapid ESG progress are seeing increases in their valuation and their business opportunities. At the same time, investors are prioritising companies that are transitioning to more sustainable business models, products, and services – not only because they feel they must, but also because they see long-term value-creation potential. Accordingly, investors increasingly expect companies to address the ESG-related synergies and opportunities in transaction rollouts, investor presentations, press releases and at analyst and investor meetings.
