REGULATIONS & STANDARDS

®

Regulatory alignment that

strengthens decisions and capital outcomes

For private equity-backed and listed companies, sustainability regulation is no longer a peripheral compliance issue. It is increasingly shaping valuation, diligence outcomes, access to capital, and exit or market credibility.

Frameworks such as CSRD / ESRS and IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards (S1 & S2) are converging with investor expectations, creating a more demanding environment for governance, data integrity, decision transparency, and assurance.

We work with PE-backed and listed businesses to ensure regulatory alignment supports value creation, capital confidence, and transaction readiness, rather than introducing friction, delay, or risk.

Regulation in PE-Backed or Listed Companies

Unlike diversified public-sector or mission-led organisations,

PE-backed and listed companies face compressed timelines

and asymmetric risk:

  • Regulatory disclosures are scrutinised during:

    • Capital raises and refinancings

    • Buy-side and sell-side diligence

    • IPO preparation and ongoing market disclosures

 

  • Inconsistencies between sustainability reporting, strategy, and financial narratives are quickly challenged

  •  Weak governance or poorly evidenced materiality can directly affect:

    •  Valuation

    • Deal terms

    • Exit timing

    • Cost of capital

​​

The risk is not simply non-compliance — it is value erosion and execution delay.

Governance Built for Assurance, Scrutiny, & Capital Events

In PE-backed and listed environments, governance must be clear, efficient, and auditable.

We support:

  • Board and committee oversight structures aligned to regulatory expectations
     

  • Clear executive accountability for sustainability-related risks and opportunities

  • Integration of sustainability into:

    • Enterprise risk management

    •  Investment approval and capital allocation

    • Performance management


This reduces reliance on informal knowledge and increases confidence during diligence and assurance.

We help ensure sustainability disclosures:

 

  • Reflect how the business actually operates and makes decisions

 

  • Are consistent with investor presentations, financing documents, and transaction materials

  • Support credible transition, resilience, and growth narratives relevant to buyers, lenders, and public markets


The objective is coherence across reporting, strategy, and capital communications.

Double Materiality as a Value and Risk Filter


We treat double materiality as a commercial prioritisation tool, not a disclosure exercise.

Double Materiality.png

Our approach:

  • Identifies sustainability topics that materially influence enterprise value, risk pricing, and exit narratives

  • Avoids unfocused topic sprawl that creates assurance and diligence risk

  • Produces defensible, decision-relevant outputs that align with:

    • Investment theses

    • Portfolio strategies

    • Equity stories

Implications for Value, Capital, & Transaction Outcomes


For PE-backed and listed companies, poorly integrated regulatory responses increasingly lead to:

 

  • Prolonged diligence processes

  • Value leakage through risk repricing

  • Reduced investor confidence

  • Increased assurance and remediation costs

Well-integrated approaches support:
 

  • Faster, more confident capital and transaction processes

  • Clearer equity and value-creation narratives

  • Reduced regulatory and reputational risk at exit or market events
     

Re-X Global works to ensure regulatory alignment reinforces the investment case, rather than undermining it.

Board Accountability
 

For PE-backed and listed companies, sustainability regulation has become a board-level value and risk issue, not a technical reporting matter.

Regulators, investors, lenders, and buyers increasingly expect boards to demonstrate:

 

  • Informed oversight of sustainability-related risks and opportunities

  • Clear links between sustainability, strategy, and financial performance

  • Confidence that disclosures reflect how decisions are actually made

Boards should expect to oversee and challenge:
 

  • Double materiality outcomes and how these influence strategy, risk, and capital allocation
     

  • Governance arrangements showing:

    • Clear ownership

    • Effective escalation

    • Integration with financial and risk oversight

 

  • Consistency between:

    • CSRD / ESRS disclosures

    • Investor communications

    • Transaction and financing narratives
       

  • Readiness for assurance, diligence, and regulatory review

Re-X Global works with:

:- to translate regulatory requirements into clear governance, decision, and reporting frameworks that support value creation, capital confidence, and exit readiness.

​​

What “good” looks like at board level:
 

  • Sustainability topics are prioritised based on value, risk, and decision relevance

 

  • Sustainability considerations are embedded into strategy, risk, and capital discussions

  • Disclosures are coherent, defensible, and aligned with the investment case

  • The board can evidence active, informed oversight, not passive approval
