Stax named finalist at the 2024 Real Deals ESG awards for due diligence provider of the year

We are thrilled to announce that Stax has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Due Diligence Provider of the Year category at the 2024 Real Deals ESG Awards! These awards recognize leaders in private equity who are driving positive change through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices. ESG considerations have become increasingly integral to investment decisions, with a growing number of investors prioritizing these factors. Fund managers are now placing greater emphasis on evaluating ESG risks and opportunities within their portfolio companies. This year’s award ceremony will be presented on 17 October 2024 in London.

 

Stax’s ESG advisory practice, launched in 2023 and lead by Anuj A. Shah, Managing Director and ESG and Impact Practice Lead, takes a uniquely business-centric approach to integrating ESG into Stax's core commercial offerings. Unlike traditional models that treat ESG as a separate workstream, Stax embeds ESG considerations directly into our services, including commercial due diligence, value creation, and sell-side/exit planning. This integration ensures that ESG factors are seamlessly considered alongside financial and operational metrics.


We are immensely proud of this achievement and remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering actionable insights to our clients and partners.
