ESG: The New King in M&A? Discover How They Impact Your Deals!

Thinking about a merger or acquisition? Pay attention! ESG criteria (Environmental, Social and Governance) have become key players in the business world. And not only that, but they are radically transforming the M&A landscape.

What are ESG criteria and why are they so important?

ESG criteria encompass a wide range of factors from a company’s environmental impact to its commitment to diversity and transparency. In the context of M&A, these factors can be decisive when valuing a company, identifying risks and opportunities, and negotiating the terms of a deal.

How do ESG criteria affect M&A?

  • Social: Labor rights, human rights, access to basic needs.
  • Environmental: Climate change, biodiversity, circular economy.
  • Governance: Board oversight, remuneration, corruption, tax.

Why should you care?

  • Reputation: Investors and consumers are increasingly demanding when it comes to the sustainability of companies.
  • Risks: An ESG-related scandal can have a devastating impact on a company’s reputation and value.
  • Opportunities: Companies that integrate ESG criteria into their strategy can access new sources of financing and open new markets.
