The problem

Sustainability due diligence on private targets is inconsistent, undocumented, and hard to defend.

No consistent methodology

Every analyst approaches sustainability due diligence differently. Output varies deal by deal, team by team. When your IC or LP asks how you did it, there is no clear answer.

Private targets don't report ESG data

Most ESG tools are built for listed companies. When your target is a privately held mid-market business, you are on your own — no ratings, no disclosures, no benchmarks.

Indefensible when it matters most

LPs, regulators, and ICs are asking not just what your sustainability due diligence found — but how you found it, what methodology you used, and whether it was applied consistently. A Word document cannot answer that.

How it works

A rigorous sustainability due diligence methodology. Consistently applied. Fully documented.

Step 1

Enter your target

Input the company name, sector, geography, and ownership structure. Evidaris applies our proprietary ESG taxonomy — covering 40+ industries and 60+ regions — to generate a structured sector risk profile. The same rigorous framework, applied consistently, every time.

Step 2

Upload deal documents (optional)

Upload a CIM or any deal document. Evidaris extracts company-specific ESG signals and maps them against sector baselines — surfacing what the target didn't highlight. Your documents are processed securely and never leave your environment.

Step 3

Engage the target

Evidaris generates a bespoke ESG question list for your target — tailored to their industry, geography, ownership structure, and transaction type. Export it into your VDR Q&A process or existing DD workflow. Responses feed back into Evidaris for scoring, gap analysis, and integration into your final report.

Step 4

Export the report

Get a structured sustainability due diligence report combining desk research, document analysis, and target responses. Every analysis is timestamped, versioned, and methodology-documented. Output your IC can interrogate, your LPs can audit, and your compliance team can file.

Features

The methodology behind every analysis.

Sector Megatrends & ESG Drivers

Evidaris identifies the regulatory trajectory, market forces, and ESG megatrends shaping your target's sector over the investment horizon — connecting ESG risk directly to the investment thesis. Not generic sustainability observations. Sector-specific intelligence that tells your IC why ESG matters for this deal, right now.

Proprietary ESG Taxonomy

Every analysis is structured around our proprietary ESG risk framework — covering 40+ industries and 60+ regions. Not generic E, S, G buckets. Specific, opinionated, and consistently applied across every deal. The same rigorous structure every time, auditable and defensible in front of any IC.

Industry & Region-Specific Questionnaires

Evidaris generates a bespoke ESG question list for each target — tailored to their industry, geography, ownership structure, and transaction type. Export it directly into your VDR Q&A process or send it through your existing DD workflow. Built from a proprietary database developed with experienced deal professionals. Ask the right questions. Every time.

CIM & Document Analysis

Upload confidential deal documents securely. Evidaris reads between the lines to surface ESG flags the target didn't highlight, mapped against sector baselines. Your data never leaves your secure environment.

Public Comparable Benchmarking

See how your target stacks up against listed peers on key ESG dimensions. Built on public sustainability disclosures and third-party ratings — giving private company analysis the rigour of public market research.

Full Audit Trail

Every analysis is timestamped, versioned, and tied to a documented methodology. Not just what you found — but how, when, and why. The answer your LPs, regulators, and IC need when they ask how you did ESG DD.

Workflow Integration

Evidaris connects to the tools your deal team already uses — VDR platforms, deal management systems, and fund reporting workflows. Once it's in your process, it stays in your process. ESG DD that fits how you work, not the other way around.

The Evidaris Standard

Sustainability due diligence you can defend. To your IC, your LPs, and your regulators.

40+

Industries covered

Our proprietary taxonomy and question database spans over 40 industries — from food & agriculture to advanced industrials to healthcare technology.

60+

Regions mapped

ESG risk is local. Our framework accounts for regulatory, environmental, and social risk factors specific to the geographies your targets operate in.

4

Dimensions per target

Every questionnaire is calibrated across four dimensions: industry, geography, company size, and ownership structure. Generic questions don't find real risks.
