Abstract

The integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations in corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A) has gained significant traction as companies recognize the strategic value of sustainability in dealmaking. This paper explores how ESG factors can be incorporated into M&A strategies to drive value creation, meet regulatory requirements, and enhance corporate reputation. Leveraging improved data and tracking methods, the study highlights the increasing importance of ESG in M&A, presenting a comprehensive analysis of environmental, social, and governance factors and their impact on M&A processes. Through case studies and an analytical framework, the research provides insights into the benefits and challenges of ESG integration, offering recommendations for companies aiming to achieve successful and sustainable M&A outcomes.
