Proud to have played a part in this report! ESG is quickly becoming a key conversation in a growing number of business decisions, even in deals. Last year, Deloitte surveyed a global sample of executive professionals on how ESG topics are considered across the M&A lifecycle. The results are clear: sustainability is increasingly a priority in M&A, no longer soley as a variable in diligence and compliance, but throughout strategy, integration, and ultimately as a value proposition in the context of a deal.

Summer is around the corner and internships will kick off soon for many students. We recently held a panel session with former Alvarez & Marsal CPI and Public Sector interns to help welcome our new crew. Here is some of the advice they shared as well as other tips gleaned from experience: ·        Be present. Every interaction is an opportunity to make an impression. How you show up each moment with your attire, attitude, and work quality matters. ·        Be curious. Say yes to assignments and be open to opportunities that present themselves. ·        Be prepared. Do your research on the company before you start. Arrive with SMART goals in mind. ·        Be intentional with your outreach. Before meeting with colleagues prepare in advance with bio reviews and tailored questions. Spend time and be supportive of your fellow interns. Meet as many people as possible. ·        Be reflective. After seeking feedback in a thoughtful way that is mindful of colleagues’ time and roles, create an action plan to address opportunities and further develop strengths. Think critically about your compatibility with the company’s culture, the nature of the work and your anticipated responsibilities of a full-time role. ·        Make an impact by not only doing the job that is asked of you but by going above and beyond to add value to the organization. To achieve impact, listen, clarify, identify opportunities, and provide actionable solutions. ·        Have fun! #lovewhatyoudo
