How do stakeholders make sure that the contemplated transaction ticks all the necessary boxes in terms of sustainability criteria and is ‘future-proof’? How to avoid the risk that considering the implementation of new regulations around green financing, the investor is not left with stranded assets with deteriorating value?
Many investors consider ESG (environmental, social, governance) framework as a reliable standard how to screen investments and make socially and environmentally conscious investment decisions.
Grant Thornton Baltic has notable experience in performing due diligence services. We can assist various stakeholders in undertaking ESG Due Diligence procedures with respect to the target organization. Although ESG Due Diligence has been historically heavily focused on compliance and possible risk aspects, in recent years investors are increasingly including value creation opportunity within the assessments.
