CMI conducts non-financial due diligence on both sides of investments:  buy and sell. Our integrated approach focuses on key ESG issues which may alter company value through “non-financial” assets, from governance to end-to-end social or environmental impacts.

 

CMI provides in-depth, sector relevant analyses which combine and confront strategic business objectives and sustainability.

  • Non-Financial Value Assessment
    Beyond the traditional Red Flag approach, we assess potential mitigation plans and identify potential opportunities.

  • Value Creation through ESG
    In the specific case of a vendor due diligence, we propose an ESG roadmap that best leverages  company assets, aligning economic performance and sustainability.

  • Strategic and ESG Alignment
    Our ESG approach, integrated into the Strategic Due Diligence process, aligns with client priorities as well as the specific context of each company or sector they operate in.

  • Beyond ESG, Impact
    CMI takes much pride combining ESG “compliance”, Strategic ESG, and Impact to meet ever-increasing ambitions of clients and regulators as it relates to responsible investment.

Our bias

An integrated approach combining strategy and ESG into a consistent package.

Focusing on key issues to provide actionable in-depth analysis and conclusions, the quality of which is recognized by our Private Equity partners.

Finding the right expertise, internally or through our network of experts, for in-depth sector-relevant analyses.

Paying extra attention to client reputation and credibility throughout our analyses: negative impact is bad enough, greenwashing makes it only worse.

Contributing to industry research in order to anticipate how expectations may change: actively participating in public and private led initiatives related to sustainable finance, climate impact, etc.

Ensuring positive impact through our various missions, for our clients, investors and ourselves.
