Inogen Alliance delivers efficient and consistent environmental, health and safety, (EHS) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) due diligence services that facilitate informed business decisions around mergers, acquisitions (M&A), divestitures, property development and sustainable finance investments. Our clients include Corporate M&A, Sovereign/Investment Funds, Private Equity, and Global Real Estate and Asset Management Firms. We help clients to avoid uncertainty and surprises by identifying, assessing and prioritizing EHS and ESG risks, allowing for efficient monitoring and control measures to prevent potential negative impacts to the business as well as capitalize on potential upside opportunities.
Although financial returns remain the key driver for investors, ESG has become a key part of investment decisions including climate risk, supply chain, social and human rights topics. We advise investors on ESG strategies with wider benefits that can be realized over the lifetime of the investment with a view to providing more significant increases in asset value. To demonstrate this, we can also provide return on investment (ROI) evaluations and monetize ESG risks and investments.
Where significant uncertainties exist, we offer financial and risk modeling to help build a comfort level that risks can be managed and incorporated into the deal. Our post-transaction diligence process allow you to strategize onboarding, integration and business continuity considerations with asset and operational business integration.

Global International Real Estate and Asset Management Firms
The scope of Environmental Due Diligence is broadening. Although the assessment of contaminated land liability remains a core focus for real estate due diligence, the scope is broadening. Businesses investing in real estate are seeking to maximize the performance of their investments and increase their returns. Issues including Flood Risk and Climate Change Risk, Air Quality, Biodiversity, ESG, Planning, Ground conditions (including Foundations and Liquefaction) and Energy & Carbon also need to be considered. These factors not only need to be considered at the time of the transaction, but also during the lifetime of the investment, in order to maximize returns

Environmental & Social Due Diligence for Solar Farm Portfolios
ESC was engaged as a consultant and advisor to conduct comprehensive ESDD studies. The process involved assessing local partners' operations, management systems, and compliance with local regulations, as well as international standards like the IFC Performance Standards and SFDR/DNSF. ESC focused on critical areas such as biodiversity and land acquisition management while reconciling risks across various solar PV platforms. They developed an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) to address identified gaps.
ESC's strategic approach was instrumental in identifying corporate-level gaps in environmental and social activities. By selectively reviewing high-risk projects, the Client could efficiently implement corporate E&S procedures. This enabled the fund to quickly identify and address critical gaps, facilitating the progression of the investment deal and supporting the broader energy transition in the region.
