  • Corporate Ghg Inventorying and Target Setting Self-Assessment: V1.0
    APPENDIX Corporate GHG Inventorying and Target Setting Self - Assessment : V1.0 Development and Methodology April 2020 APPENDIX: CORPORATE GHG INVENTORYING AND TARGET SETTING SELF-ASSESSMENT: V1.0 Purpose of this Self-Assessment and How it Can Lead to Action Companies are often in a stronger position to improve their greenhouse gas (GHG) management efforts once they understand their relative performance compared to their peers. In response to stakeholder interest, this self-assessment is designed to help companies estimate, at a high level, how their GHG inventorying and target-setting approaches compare to large peer companies representing different industry sectors. Once companies estimate how their key GHG measurement and target-setting efforts compare to their peers, they can evaluate, in greater detail, how other companies approach GHG inventorying and target setting. Helping companies locate their GHG management efforts within the broader market may spur competition, garner internal support for widening the scope of their GHG inventories or setting more aggressive GHG reduction targets, and prioritize resources to implement GHG reduction activities. • Entry-level: For companies beginning to address their GHG emissions, this resource aims to help them identify which inventorying and target-setting actions reflect common business practices today and provide them with a roadmap for developing their own inventories and setting targets. • Intermediate: For companies further along their sustainability journey, this self- assessment can validate more advanced inventorying and target-setting behaviors that position them to deepen GHG emission reductions. • Advanced: For leading companies, this resource can also validate their efforts and encourage them to explore implementing more cutting edge GHG management efforts, eventually pushing such innovations into the mainstream and sharing practices with others.

  • Final Version
    ERASMUS UNIVERSITY ROTTERDAM ERASMUS SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS MSc Economics & Business Economics Master Thesis Financial Economics The formation of prominent private equity clubs and the involved alignment costs in club leveraged buyouts Author: Jurjen Spelde Student ID number: 454457 Thesis supervisor: Y.S. Gangaram-Panday MSc Second reader: Dr. J. Lemmen Date final version: 27-08-2020 J. Spelde (2020) Abstract In this research, I analyzed the pricing, target firm characteristics and involved alignment costs in club deal leveraged buyouts. Using a dataset of completed and withdrawn leveraged buyouts of publicly traded U.S. targets, I found that target shareholders receive between approximately 8,5% and 34% lower premiums compared to sole-sponsored leveraged buyouts in the pre-2006 time period. There is no difference in the premium in the post-2005 time period. These results are robust to the usual M&A control variables, including size, risk, and industry and time fixed effects. By examining withdrawn deals, I studied two influences: (1) the likelihood of a completed deal after the announcement is lower for club leveraged buyouts consisting of one merely one prominent private equity firm compared to sole-sponsored private equity deals, and (2) the duration between the announcement date and the date of completion/withdrawal is longer compared to sole-sponsored private equity deals, also merely for clubs consisting of one prominent private equity firm. I found motives for capital constraints in the post-2005 time period which is merely evident for clubs consisting of two prominent private equity firms, but no indication in favor of diversification motives.
