A recent KPMG study reveals that 61% of investors in the European Market for Alternative Investment Funds (EMA) prioritize ESG due diligence, driven by the potential for monetary gains.

A recent KPMG survey found that just 25% of surveyed business leaders express confidence in meeting future ESG reporting requirements, despite an increasing reliance on ESG strategies for added business value. The "KPMG U.S. ESG Survey" involved over 200 business leaders responsible for their companies' ESG strategies, primarily from North American companies with revenue exceeding $1 billion across diverse industries.

Sustainability and ESG across the globe has become a massive priority to businesses. KPMG recently released their 2022 EMA ESG Due Diligence Study where they shared the results of their survey to find out what Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) due diligence (DD) means for dealmakers across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. After surveying more than 150 active dealmakers the insights were profound. From struggling to define ESG DD, to division on how to integrate ESG DD into existing frameworks and strategy, all the way to seeing very clearly that ESG DD is a key priority, KPMG provides EMA dealmakers and strategy leaders with new ideas and motivation to drive forward their ESG DD capabilities.
