As oil and gas companies seek to reduce emissions and navigate the risks and opportunities of the energy transition, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) continue to be an integral part of industry business strategies. To help investors assess and manage risk from oil and gas M&A, Ceres and Environmental Defense Fund developed this guide that presents actionable steps and real-world examples of current industry best practice.
As a follow-up to the Climate Principles for Oil and Gas Mergers and Acquisitions report, the Environmental Defense Fund and Ceres developed this guide to help investors assess and manage risk from oil and gas mergers and acquisitions.
This investor guide builds on Ceres and EDF’s first-ever climate principles for oil and gas companies entering M&A transactions, with an investor-focused look at how to implement the principles into dealmaking.
The guide presents case studies, real-world examples of current industry best practices, and actionable steps to equip investors looking to engage with banks and companies on transferred emissions—and work to effectively reduce financial, climate, and reputational risks.
