How You Will Benefit

After completing this web seminar, attendees will learn how to integrate ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) issues into business valuations. Different aspects of risk quantification, opportunities, assets, liabilities and cash flow effects are explained.

Description of the Web Seminar

ESG and sustainability are not only buzzwords in today’s business valuation. Investors, analysts and valuation appraisers more and more often take ESG-related topics into account when determining the value of businesses. They do it because it is today broadly understood that ESG and sustainability can have a real impact on the value discovery.

In this seminar we shed light on the most important aspects of ESG integration:

• How to include ESG into valuations
• How far can we use our existing valuation framework for this? And where do we have to extent it?
• Where to look at from an analytical point of view?
• How can we translate this into a practicable valuation approach?
