HORIZONS | BDO'S GLOBAL VIEWOF MID-MARKET DEAL ACTIVITY 05
IMPERATIVE FOR DEALS It’s clear that ESG issues are not ones which can be left to be considered post-transaction. A basic expectation of shareholders, ESG is an imperative consideration for M&A deals. Companies which develop, implement, and disclose ESG strategies early will position themselves as preferential suppliers, attractive investments, and more resilient, higher-value businesses. These companies are increasingly being identified as primary targets for acquirers looking for investment opportunities which will support the acceleration of their own ESG strategy and performance and drive up their own business value. Get in touch with BDO’s Sustainability team to understand what ESG means for your business and activate your Sustainability Journey today.
