We provide insights into transformations, successful business models and pitfalls in M&A transactions. We seek answers to questions such as: Where do medium-sized companies play their trump cards? What are the prevailing problems in the supply chain, in production, or in managing diverse operations across industries? How does the (secure) IT infrastructure affect the valuation of a company?

    The political and market conditions have drastically changed over the last nine months.

  • ESG@Eight - how does it impact companies' value and business operations? (in English)

    ESG@Eight - how does it impact companies' value and business operations? (in English)
    May 9 2022
    Particularly expedited by the Covid-19 pandemic, the topic of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) aspects of a business has been extensively covered across the media, events and conferences in the past few months. Sustainability is very high on the agenda, both for companies and investors. ESG levers already have a quantifiable impact on M&As across industry sectors and ignoring them in business valuations is likely to increase investment risks and negatively impact value creation. In terms of business operations there are opportunities for both risk mitigation as well as value creation for organisations from embedding ESG parameters into their business operations. In this episode Hanut Dey, Eight Advisory Valuations Director will explain how exactly ESG impacts businesses and companies' valuations.
