Ethical Due Diligence:An introduction and guide


New publication available from 17th May 2007

 

When entering into a new business relationship, from joint ventures to mergers and acquisitions, cultural fit and ethical compatibility are increasingly recognised as an important element of success.

This report suggests Ethical Due Diligence (EDD) as an extension of traditional financial and legal due diligence. It offers a framework for assessing the ethical standards of a potential business partner or target company, and for identifying potential sources of ethical mismatch and risk.
Based on interviews with companies and experts, the author describes the process of EDD and shows how it can be deployed to support successful business decisions.

The report provides a guide to good practice and shows by means of case studies how EDD is already being applied effectively.

This report is sponsored by Shell
