We Support the Sustainable Growth of Your Company

At Grafton Corporate Development, we drive the sustainable growth of organisations and their corporate development within an increasingly global, competitive, and rapidly evolving regulatory and market environment, transitioning towards a more sustainable economy.

Our vision integrates Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) with Sustainability (ESG), ensuring that growth strategies not only ensure success in operations but also carefully manage the impacts, risks, and opportunities associated with sustainable management in all its dimensions (ESG).

Mission Statement

We help companies and their leaders to invest, compete, and innovate within the green economy under the new sustainability regulatory framework. We support and drive their growth through Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and responsible and sustainable management.

a) For Entrepreneurs and Founders:
If you are considering undertaking a divestment process, you should select an M&A advisor with extensive experience and networking, such as Grafton Corporate. Specific advice on Sustainability will enable you to align the interests of the entrepreneur with those of investors or financiers and their stakeholders under the new ESG requirements, facilitating the divestment operation.

b) For Financial Investors and Companies:
Our role goes beyond merely identifying and executing mergers and acquisitions; we also help enhance your reputation in an increasingly competitive market by accessing suitable, high-quality opportunities that will add value in the medium and long term. Integrating ESG management into business strategy provides greater control over risk management, its mitigation, and the ability to seize new opportunities for sustainable development and growth.
