Even before the prevalence of ESG scoring, there was always a lot riding on your due diligence. Traditionally, maybe you needed to identify and assess any financial and/or reputational risks before moving forward with a merger and acquisition (M&A). Or perhaps you wanted to verify that a potential c-suite hire or business partner isn’t a politically exposed person (PEP) or on a watchlist. Of course, while these tasks are still critical to risk management, your due diligence must now also consider the environmental, social, and governance factors that make up ESG.
In other words: To gain optimized monetary and brand protection in today’s complex and dynamic risk landscape, your due diligence must become effective and efficient. For example, companies are under increased scrutiny—from government regulators as well as the public—to increase their sustainability efforts and to reevaluate business relationships with those who have environmental policies that come up short. Considering how many aspects of your business can impact an ESG score (and there are a lot), Risk managers have far more moving pieces to keep their eyes on than ever, leading many of them to fall into the misbelief that they must choose between a well-informed due diligence investigation or an expedited one with a greater potential for blindspots.
