Problem
Buyers demand ESG DD, energy DD missing from mandates, PE funds require ESG compliance, mandate loss due to missing specialist expertise.

Typically missing: energy due diligence in DD scope, ESG risk quantification for valuation, decarbonisation costs in financial model, PE-grade ESG report formats.
This service is designed for:
Typical situation

85% of PE funds require ESG due diligence.
Those who cannot deliver lose the mandate. We are your ESG partner - fast, PE-grade and quantified.

Why M&A advisors need ESG competence
Mandate loss: 85% of PE funds require ESG due diligence. Those who cannot deliver lose the mandate to competitors with ESG networks.
Valuation errors: Without energy DD, decarbonisation costs are missing from the financial model - purchase price adjustments of 5-15% are overlooked.
Deal breakers: Undiscovered ESG risks lead to late deal cancellations. This costs you reputation and success fee.
Regulatory trend: CSRD and EU Taxonomy make ESG DD standard - not optional. Those who do not prepare now will be left behind in 2 years.
