M&A buyers are increasingly looking at environmental, social, government (ESG) factors as an element in their decision-making. In new research from Datasite, 84% of dealmakers ranked ESG as “important/very important” to consideration; with 75% reporting deals that didn’t move forward due to ESG concerns.
ESG issues cover a wide range of corporate practices that could include a company’s health and safety policies, waste management, employee well-being, and corporate culture issues.
