Download the paper.

To equip leaders on the buy-side with the skills to enact ESG analysis robust enough to make data-backed decisions that drive business success, Reuters Events and Intralinks have sat down with global leaders across banking, business, and private equity to compile a case-study compendium illustrating their top strategic priorities for ESG diligence.

Key takeaways:

• In a time-pressured M&A environment, ESG considerations can and should impact every step in a transaction — from LOI to PMI.
• Increasingly, ESG diligence is going beyond simple risk management, identifying strategic growth opportunities for having significant ESG impact which goes hand in hand with superior returns.
• Artificial intelligence (AI), virtual data rooms (VDRs), and other tech innovations are being used on the buy-side to cope with the heightened cybersecurity threats that come with a growing influx of sensitive ESG information.

This whitepaper features expert insights and exclusive case-studies from interviews with Global Heads at Santander Corporate & Investment Banking, Commerzbank, Standard Chartered, Cinven, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and the Emerging Markets Investors Alliance.
