Sustainability in Transactions

Today, investors, asset managers and society in general are placing higher demands that companies are committed to creating not only short-term financial profit but also enduring, sustainable value. This translates into a greater focus on the way companies run their operations, and the impacts that they produce in society. Whether you are an investor or a potential investee, we help you analyse key ESG risks and take mitigation actions.

Ensuring comprehensive due diligence is crucial in today’s business landscape, where ESG factors are playing an increasingly pivotal role. At Delphi, we recognise the importance of integrating ESG considerations into every stage of our mergers and acquisitions processes. Regulatory bodies are increasing scrutiny on ESG performance, while societal expectations are prompting businesses to be proactive in addressing ESG challenges. An ESG due diligence process is consequently not just advisable but essential.

By incorporating sustainability aspects in our due diligence process, as well as in our legal advice concerning other stages of the investment life cycle, we help you maximise value and detect risk factors in time.

The benefits of ESG due diligence are threefold: Firstly, it mitigates financial risks associated with potential ESG issues, allowing our clients to make informed business decisions and adjust the purchase price accordingly. Secondly, it safeguards reputation by averting association with companies involved in environmental or social issues. Thirdly, it shields against legal liabilities originating from non-compliance with ESG standards.

Drawing on Delphi’s extensive experience in legal due diligence and solid expertise in environmental, labour and regulatory compliance, we empower our clients to effectively navigate ESG complexities. By conducting thorough assessments and implementing proactive measures, we help businesses to not only mitigate risks but also unlock opportunities for sustainable growth and future value creation.
