Due Diligence & Gap Analysis

Due Diligence & Gap Analysis

What looks like a profitable financial investment can sometimes conceal hidden ESG challenges. Resolving these issues after financial close may result in additional permitting requirements, excessive delay, increased costs or even threaten the viability of your investment.

Due Diligence & Gap Analysis

How ESS delivers it

We dig below the surface to ensure potential environmental and social issues linked to your investment are identified, providing a clear and cost-effective pathway to full compliance with international standards, national regulations and best practice.

ESS can support you to
  • Conduct a Due Diligence or Gap Analysis to identify outstanding HSECMS and resourcing gaps, and develop an action plan to address these
  • Identify and manage ESG risks in investments, divestments, mergers and acquisitions, specialising in emerging economies
  • Develop an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) in line with the Equator Principles, IFC Performance Standards and other international standards
