due diligence and advice
Supporting investors and M&A teams with integration of ESG considerations
into investment strategies and decision-making processes
Our focus is on
- understanding the impact, risks and opportunities -
- analysing emissions and reduction & mitigation plans -
- evaluating the wider implications of a transaction -
From high-level screening of companies,
right through to detailed investment decisions,
we review ESG and emissions strategy and data
ESG & Emissions Due Diligence
Emissions
Interrogate emissions reporting and claims
Does the company claim to align with the Paris Agreement? Is this valid?
Is the Net Zero ambition defendable?
Benchmarking
How do companies compare?
Standardising ESG data to enable correct comparisons
Reporting framework comparison
Strategy Review
Has the company followed a proper approach to ESG?
Does the strategy and activity align with the
risk?
Have they considered stakeholders?
Investing Impact
How will a merger / acquisition impact the ESG credentials of the parent company?
Opportunities for improvement
ESG is now vital for successful companies.
Without a defendable ESG approach, companies risk reputational damage.
The expectations of what should be reported and acted on are changing continually.
Sustain:able provides advice to address various aspects of
responsible investing, including:
Risk management
Performance enhancement
Regulatory compliance
Stakeholder expectations
Aligning investments with personal
or organisational values
ESG is both a risk and an opportunity – we identify the risks, and then build on the opportunities
What are companies really reporting on?
What have they omitted?
How do they compare to their peers?
Are their reduction plans validated?
Do they have an achievable plan for their Net Zero claims?
"Are ESG, Net Zero and emissions statements defendable and based on proper process?"
"How does the company stack up to its peers with regards to ESG and emissions?"
"Post-acquisition, what are the key ESG opportunities for improvement?"
"Which frameworks are they reporting to and how well aligned are they?"
