We’re proud to share that Grant Thornton Stax has been named a finalist in the 2025 Real Deals Sustainable Investment Awards, recognized in the category of Due Diligence Provider of the Year.


This award highlights firms that demonstrate innovation and leadership in ESG-focused due diligence—evaluating growth, client impact, and the introduction of meaningful initiatives or offerings since January 2024. Winners will be announced at the ceremony in London on 14 October 2025.


Launched in 2023 and led by Anuj A. Shah, our ESG and Impact Practice has taken a differentiated approach by embedding ESG into the heart of Stax’s core offerings—including commercial due diligence, value creation, and exit planning. Rather than treating ESG as a standalone component, our team integrates it directly into broader investment analysis, ensuring clients have a full picture of value and risk across commercial, financial, and sustainability dimensions.


We’re honored to be recognized alongside firms advancing the standard for responsible investment, and we remain committed to helping our clients navigate ESG considerations with clarity, rigor, and impact.
