ESG data is no longer a differentiator or ‘nice to have.’ ESG disclosure is moving into the mainstream expectations for this process. Depending on the industry, more emphasis may be given to efforts associated with the ‘E,’ ‘S,’ or ‘G.’ (Carbon neutral is a current hot topic.) Listen as Amanda and Mark discuss ESG-related reporting trends for mergers and acquisitions, and how ESG impacts the overall valuation process.
To ground us in this conversation, Amanda reminds us about the concept of ESG materiality. She is such a great teacher! It should come as no surprise that she is currently a guest lecturer at Rice University and the University of St. Thomas. Super congrats, Amanda! Those students are so lucky to learn from your expertise.
