Capturing value from sustainability opportunities after M&A
How do you convert sustainability opportunities into improved financial performance and long-term growth?
In pursuing mergers and acquisitions (M&A), an increasing number of dealmakers are taking environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into consideration when assessing value creation opportunities. The KPMG LLP 2023 US ESG Due Diligence Study revealed that 90 percent of investors with rigorous ESG due diligence use their findings to guide an action plan after closing the deal.
But how do you convert sustainability opportunities into improved financial performance and long-term growth? In a new KPMG paper, we argue that generating value at exit is more likely with a comprehensive, cohesive roadmap and implementation plan. Moreover, the earlier these are in place—preferably during due diligence or at the start of the hold period—the better.
