ESG isn't a checkbox. It's a value driver.
Assess environmental risk and carbon exposure
Plausity analyses environmental policies, emissions data, energy consumption reports, and supply chain documentation to quantify climate-related risk. It flags regulatory exposure under frameworks like the EU Taxonomy, CSRD, and TCFD — and identifies where environmental liabilities could impact post-acquisition value.
Evaluate social factors and workforce practices
Review labour practices, diversity metrics, health and safety records, supply chain ethics, and community impact documentation. Plausity surfaces patterns that indicate social risk — from workforce concentration to modern slavery exposure — and benchmarks the target against sector peers.
Audit governance structures and ethical standards
Assess board composition, executive compensation, anti-bribery policies, whistleblower mechanisms, and conflict of interest frameworks. Plausity maps governance findings against best-practice standards and flags gaps that create reputational or regulatory risk post-close.
Detect greenwashing and verify sustainability claims
Cross-reference the target's public sustainability commitments against actual data room evidence. Plausity identifies discrepancies between marketed ESG credentials and operational reality — protecting investors from reputational risk and regulatory scrutiny.
Map regulatory exposure across ESG frameworks
Automatically evaluate compliance against CSRD, SFDR, EU Taxonomy, TCFD, GRI, SASB, and jurisdiction-specific ESG reporting requirements. Plausity identifies which regulations apply, where the target falls short, and what remediation looks like in terms of cost and timeline.
| Framework | Status | Gaps |
|---|---|---|
| CSRD | Partial | 3 disclosures missing |
| EU Taxonomy | Non-aligned | No eligibility assessment |
| TCFD | Compliant | — |
| SFDR | Partial | PAI data incomplete |
| GRI | Compliant | — |

Plausity identified a material gap between the target's published net-zero commitment and their actual emissions data. That finding reshaped the entire investment thesis and saved us from a significant reputational risk.
Frequently asked questions
Plausity covers CSRD, SFDR, EU Taxonomy, TCFD, GRI, SASB, UN PRI, and the UN Global Compact. Custom frameworks and proprietary ESG scoring methodologies can be configured per engagement.
Plausity analyses available emissions data and environmental documentation in the data room. Where Scope 3 data is incomplete, it flags the gap and provides estimation frameworks based on industry benchmarks.
ESG findings are cross-referenced with commercial, legal, and operational diligence. Environmental liabilities feed into financial modelling, governance gaps inform legal risk, and social factors contexualise commercial sustainability.
Absolutely. Many targets — especially in the mid-market — lack formal ESG reporting. Plausity identifies material ESG risks from available documentation and public data, even when structured ESG disclosures don't exist.
