Understanding what matters
We help you identify which ESG topics truly affect the company’s value, reputation and future resilience. Based on the principle of double materiality, we look at both the company’s impact on people and the environment, and the financial relevance of ESG risks such as carbon exposure, human rights in the supply chain or data security vulnerabilities.
-
Clarity on compliance
We assess whether the company is prepared for today’s and tomorrow’s ESG regulations. This includes the CSRD, EU Taxonomy, the Ecodesign Regulation and sector-specific rules like Extended Producer Responsibility. We flag gaps and estimate what it would take to align, helping you avoid future compliance costs and legal risks.
-
Insight into Risk and Value
Our ESG analysis highlights the issues that matter for valuation and deal terms. We uncover hidden risks such as inefficient energy systems, governance shortcomings or social impact blind spots. At the same time, we identify where ESG performance could offer strategic upside, from cost savings to brand differentiation or access to capital.

What is ESG due diligence?
ESG due diligence is the process of identifying, analyzing, and quantifying environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities in the context of a business or investment. It combines internal data, interviews, and external benchmarks to assess how sustainability issues may affect business performance and value, both today and in the future.
Who is ESG due diligence for?
ESG due diligence is designed for investors, private equity firms, and companies involved in mergers, acquisitions, or strategic partnerships. It is also relevant for businesses seeking to understand their ESG position, respond to stakeholder expectations, or prepare for upcoming regulations such as the CSRD or CSDDD.
Why is ESG due diligence important in investment decisions?
ESG due diligence reveals risks and opportunities that directly affect enterprise value, reputation, and future cash flows. Think of hidden costs related to sustainability compliance, exposure to regulatory shifts, or upside potential like circularity, resource efficiency, or talent retention.
What does “double materiality” mean in ESG due diligence?
Double materiality looks at both sides of the equation: how a company impacts people and the planet (inside-out), and how environmental and social factors can impact the business (outside-in). This perspective helps investors assess not just reputational risk, but also long-term financial exposure and resilience.
