The “Delivering the Deal” spotlight series is where Mercer’s leading experts discuss the most pressing issues facing business leaders and deal professionals in M&A today.

In this podcast, we are bringing you an interview hosted by Jeff Black, the Global and North America M&A Advisory Services Leader and Dhruv Mehra, AMEA M&A Advisory Services Leader, and Haze Zhang, Greater China M&A Advisory Services Leader, covering:

Overview of mergers and acquisitions activity in the Asia Pacific region in 2021
Outlook and motivation for deals in the Asia Pacific
Most critical success factor in M&A in 2021
ESG considerations during M&A deals

Interesting Moments from the podcast:

"Based on our [M&A] research, it shows 57% of survey respondents do indicate an increased appetite for M&A in the next 12-24 months, and that seems quite consistent with what we are hearing on the ground."
“Investing in ESG and sustainability on the people side could create value to employees and multiple stakeholders to the organization which could boost ESG performance and enables sustainable business growth.”
"We found that across all issues, 70% of PE buyers said that leadership alignment and culture alignment are the biggest derailers of a transaction"
