Case Study

Acquisition Scan for Global Leader in Safety and Sustainability Assurance

Challenge

A global safety and certification software and services firm was looking to enhance its existing EHS solution portfolio through the acquisition of an ESG and/or EHS specialist software firm. The client engaged Verdantix to identify a shortlist of potential acquisition targets.


Solution

Leveraging our extensive database of ESG and EHS software providers, we ran a search of suitable software vendors, including carbon accounting, supply chain sustainability and specialist EHS firms. Our original search highlighted over 900 potential firms which we narrowed down to a shortlist of 15 suitable targets based on several criteria. We then conducted a thorough analysis of the 15 proposed targets, which involved evaluating their product capabilities and conducting interviews with each of the firms to ascertain their appetite for partnership and acquisition. By the end of the project, we had identified a final shortlist of 10 target firms for our client.


Outcome

At the end of the project, we connected our client with the most attractive targets to proceed with acquisition discussions. Since then, discussions have progressed to late stages with two potential firms.
