ESG in corporate transactions

1 min read

On this page

    ESG factors are now a key consideration in M&A. According to the CMS European M&A study 2023, investors are facing pressures to uphold higher governance standards across all industries and geographical regions as it ensures the efficient running of a business and consumer confidence. It also seems likely that dealmakers want to capitalise on attractive ESG value creation opportunities. 

    This page brings together practical resources and insight for ESG considerations in a corporate context, from incorporation into M&A deals, good governance or directors’ duties. If there is a topic you’d like to discuss, please get in touch.
