In June 2024, a large international company active in the energy solutions sector engaged SKAN1 to conduct a SKAN-4X integrity assessment to assess the risks associated with an acquisition target in the context of strong growth in the wind sector.
Mission context :
As the green energy market expands, our client wants to assess the compliance and reputation of this company, an emerging player in the wind energy sector based in Southern Europe. The company offers specialized maintenance and installation services for onshore and offshore wind turbines. Faced with significant reputational and financial challenges in a country where corruption scandals remain a concern, our client wants to ensure the reliability of this potential new partner before moving forward.
Result of our investigations :
The in-depth analysis conducted by SKAN1 reveals an overall reassuring profile in this context. The firm has transparent governance and a well-established international presence in around ten countries. Its rapid development is based on globally recognized certifications and partnerships with major players in the sector.
The detailed review of its activities and its managers did not reveal any detrimental elements in terms of corruption or fraud. The risks therefore appear to be under control, with results also improving and a healthy structure.
Benefit for the customer :
Thanks to this assessment, our client has a clear vision of the profile of their future partner. The SKAN-R score of 81/100, significantly higher than the averages observed on comparable assignments (sector, location, context) confirms the strength of the case.
This analysis allows our client to consider this investment with confidence, while having identified the points to be monitored in relation to the local context in terms of corruption risk. They can thus finish structuring and validating their project, simply by integrating an appropriate system of regular control measures to guard against any reputational risk.
