Transparency. Responsibility. The future - with ESG due diligence.

An ESG due diligence (EDD) in the healthcare sector evaluates the target company through a holistic analysis with regard to sustainability requirements, opportunities and challenges. The focus is on ecological responsibility, social aspects and good corporate governance. In addition to regulatory requirements and industry standards, the value chain and the specific sustainability risks and opportunities that are material for the company in the healthcare sector are examined in particular.

Another important part of the audit is the analysis of the target company's ESG strategy and key sustainability figures. As different forms of due diligence often overlap, we work closely with financial due diligence and commercial due diligence service providers.

Healthcare ESG due diligence requires a holistic analysis of regulatory, social and environmental aspects. Particularly important in the healthcare sector are sustainability opportunities and risks in terms of social impact and healthcare services, professional and employee conditions, as well as environmental issues relating to carbon footprint, energy and resource consumption. Added to this are supply chain transparency and compliance management. An EDD must not only assess current sustainability performance, but also identify future risks and opportunities in terms of risk management and potential. Based on the sustainability analysis, the extent to which the company is adapted to current ESG requirements and is already positioned as a pioneer in the market or can achieve this position is examined. The strategic fit between the internal sustainability potential, taking into account regulatory requirements such as the CSRD, ESRS, CSDDD or EU taxonomy, and external market expectations is analyzed. In order to assess the future viability and sustainability of the target company, it is necessary to understand the industry standards and the ESG positioning of competitors in a benchmarking process.
For ESG due diligence in the healthcare sector, we work with leading data and methodology partners who support the individual M&A process with benchmark data and quantitative performance analyses tailored to the respective sub-segment and market.
