• Sustainability strategy and target setting
  We help to identify the most strategically significant sustainability priorities for you and your value chain, and to set impactful and measurable sustainability targets. The work is based on double materiality or, alternatively, stakeholder and industry perspectives, and the targets are linked to the company’s overall strategy and value creation.
• Operating principles and policies
  We support the practical implementation of sustainability by drawing up clear and appropriate sustainability policies that support the practical execution of the strategy. The policies take into account the special characteristics of the company’s operations, its material ESG topics and the expectations set by regulation and frameworks.
• Code of Conduct
  We help you to establish ethical principles and codes of conduct for your entire organisation and, if necessary, your supply chain. A Code of Conduct supports a common operating culture, responsible decision-making and consistent compliance with sustainability requirements.
• Sustainable business models and financing
  We assess the opportunities presented by sustainability with regard to business models and investments, including solutions related to green finance and carbon neutrality. The assessment is based on the company’s strategic goals, market situation and future changes in its business operations.
• Sustainability reporting manual and annual plan
  We build clear ESG reporting practices that support the systematic collection, analysis and reporting of sustainability information. The reporting manual and annual plan facilitate the management of sustainability efforts and support the monitoring and development of the sustainability strategy.

Whatever the stage of your company’s sustainability efforts, we offer strategic insight, practical solutions and a clear reporting framework to make it easier to implement sustainability as part of sustainable business. 

The demands placed on corporate responsibility are constantly increasing, and the legal obligations related to due diligence are a key part of sustainability strategy. It is important for companies to identify, assess and manage risks related to the environment, human rights and business practices in their value chain.  

We help you to build a practical due diligence process that takes stakeholder expectations into account and reduces the financial impact of sustainability-related risks. 

Our due diligence services

ESG due diligence related to restructuring

ESG due diligence helps to identify key environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities in acquisitions, investment decisions and other types of restructuring. We assess material ESG factors according to the principle of double materiality and in accordance with the EU’s sustainable finance regulations. Our analysis supports strategic decision-making and helps to assess the company’s level of sustainability and risks from the perspectives of investors and stakeholders. In addition, we assess the differences in the level of sustainability between the acquirer and the acquiree in order to prepare for potential investments related to achieving the common target level (e.g. the sustainability aspects of the product portfolio and equipment fleet, processes, sustainability capabilities and human capital).  

The outcome of the ESG due diligence service is a report that identifies the target company’s key sustainability risks and opportunities and provides recommendations for reducing risks and improving sustainability. We also assess how the potential acquisition target would affect the acquirer's organisation and ESG targets.
