ESG Due Diligence
In an era of heightened stakeholder scrutiny and evolving regulatory landscapes, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance has become a critical determinant of business resilience and long-term value. ESG due diligence is no longer a compliance exercise — it is an essential component of strategic decision-making, investment assessment, and risk management.
Our ESG Due Diligence services provide organizations, investors, and financial institutions with a comprehensive understanding of ESG risks and opportunities across transactions, portfolios, and supply chains. We combine deep sustainability expertise with analytical rigor to help clients make informed decisions, enhance transparency, and build trust among stakeholders. Our ESG Due Diligence offering spans the full spectrum of assessment, integration, and strategic advisory.
Our Services Include:
​​
Transactional ESG Due Diligence
We conduct pre-investment and acquisition due diligence to evaluate ESG performance, risks, and compliance across target entities. Our assessments identify material issues that could impact valuation, reputation, or future liabilities — enabling clients to integrate ESG insights into financial and strategic decision-making.
ESG Risk and Impact Assessment
Our team maps ESG risk exposure across operations, value chains, and geographies. We evaluate environmental impact, social practices, labor conditions, governance structures, and ethical performance to provide a holistic risk profile aligned with global ESG frameworks.
Policy, Compliance, and Regulatory Alignment
We review and benchmark existing policies and management systems against emerging ESG regulations and international standards — including the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), and OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
Supply Chain and Third-Party Due Diligence
We assess ESG performance and risks across supply chain partners, contractors, and investees to identify potential human rights, environmental, or governance gaps. Our approach helps clients strengthen supplier engagement, transparency, and compliance with global sustainability norms.
​
Integration into Investment and Corporate Processes
We support clients in embedding ESG factors into investment frameworks, corporate governance systems, and enterprise risk management structures — ensuring long-term alignment with responsible investment and sustainability objectives.
By integrating ESG due diligence into business and investment processes, organizations can proactively identify risks, unlock opportunities, and enhance resilience. Our approach enables clients to move beyond compliance — building sustainable value, safeguarding reputation, and positioning themselves as leaders in responsible growth.
