Mergers and Acquisitions ESG

Overview

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has become mainstream, resulting in a huge shift in capital allocation, consumer purchasing behaviour and regulatory intervention. ESG increasingly defines long-term shareholder value and having an ESG strategy is no longer a ‘nice-to-have’, but a necessity.

As industries and organisations transform around this megatrend, M&A comes to the fore as a mechanism for both corporates and Private Equity firms to achieve a significant and sustainable uplift in ESG performance.
