The growing importance of ESG in M&A transactions
Join us as we explore the latest thinking on ESG factors with leaders in the field, bringing together Torys lawyers from across practice areas as well as external guest speakers. We will discuss current developments in organizational governance, new strategies emerging around ESG investment, sector-specific trends and more.
ESG is increasingly affecting virtually every aspect of M&A transactions. It is becoming a key driver of transaction success. Transaction participants need to consider ESG factors from the initial screening of opportunities, during the diligence, valuation and financing processes and through to execution, management of stakeholder expectations and post-deal integration. Join the panelists as they explore the growing role of ESG in M&A transactions, including related opportunities and trends.
