ValutECO is the New Groundbreaking ESG Tool for Sustainable Business Valuations

Valutico’s latest launch, ValutECO, empowers finance professionals to conduct valuations based on ESG criteria.

LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / April 25, 2023 / Leading the way in sustainable finance, Valutico has launched ValutECO, an advanced tool that assesses the value of companies based on their environmental impact. With this groundbreaking announcement, the valuation platform Valutico has made a significant step into integrating sustainability into the widespread practice of valuing businesses.

Valutico’s newly launched tool, currently in an ‘alpha’ trial phase, allows accountants, M&A consultants, investment managers, private equity professionals, and those in corporate finance to consider the impact of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) factors on a company’s value. By addressing the potential links between ESG and financial performance, ValutECO is leading the way towards incorporating sustainability into financial theory and practice.

ValutECO Explained

With ValutECO, financial professionals use a streamlined ESG assessment, specifically designed with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in mind and simplified to facilitate easier reporting. Analysts can identify priority areas for improvement, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, managing water usage, and increasing recycling rates.

Valutico’s pioneering new tool integrates ESG scores into the ‘Cost of Capital’ component of a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation. This revolutionary feature allows companies with positive ESG scores to be valued higher, making them more attractive to potential buyers and investors seeking sustainability and long-term growth.

ValutECO was developed following a grant by Wirtschaftsagentur Wien, and follows research into the impacts of ESG criteria on the valuations of businesses across multiple industries, alongside validation that the condensed ESG assessment reflects more exhaustive assessments on the market.

Impact on Sustainability

The widespread adoption of a tool like ValutECO has the potential to be a game-changer for sustainability in industries all around the world. It would financially incentivize companies to prioritize sustainability and embed environmental factors as a key component of their everyday operations. This would result in one way in which companies’ impact on the planet becomes a crucial aspect of buying, selling, and investing decisions.

Valutico acknowledge that the integration of ESG into financial analyses is an ongoing conversation requiring further academic study, but they’re optimistic that their new tool ValutECO will contribute to steering the conversation in the direction of a more sustainable future.

Valutico’s CEO, Paul Resch states:

“Leading the way in integrating sustainability into financial practices is a significant accomplishment for Valutico. We recognize the importance of ValutECO as an initial step towards achieving this goal, and we’re grateful for the grant provided by Wirtschaftsagentur Wien that made this possible. We’re looking forward to receiving feedback from financial professionals on how this innovative tool can enable sustainable growth and we’re excited for what lies ahead.”

About Valutico

Valutico is the world’s leading valuation platform. Valutico’s all-in-one software allows finance professionals to value a company in minutes by providing data-driven tools to conduct analyses faster and more accurately.

Used by more than 600 financial firms in 80 countries, the powerful platform is popular amongst professionals in advisory roles such as in Corporate Finance, M&A, and Tax and Audit, as well as Investment Managers, Venture Capitalists, and Family Offices.

Founded in 2017, and headquartered in Vienna with subsidiaries in the U.S. and U.K., Valutico operates worldwide with an ever-expanding network of valuation practitioners using its platform, consultancy services, and valuation training.

WHR Global Releases “Ask the Expert” 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report

MILWAUKEE, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Global (WHR), a leader in the global employee relocation industry, announced the release of its international 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report called “Ask the Expert.” WHR surveyed 32 companies from its trusted destination services provider network, covering 56 countries worldwide. WHR believes its Benchmark report will help current and future clients compare their global mobility programs to other companies’ destination service offerings for relocating employees and assignees. As companies continue to compete for talent, relocation benefits must be competitive.

Destination services help relocating employees get settled in their new location and can include the following: Area Orientation; Local Registration; Tenancy Management, Lease Check Out and Property Management; Home Search; Mortgage Counseling; Temporary Housing; Spousal and Partner Career Assistance; Help with Immigration (Visa and Immigration Regulations); School Search for Children; Moving Pets; Language and Cultural Training; and Other Settling-In Services.

WHR’s Benchmark data includes the following for 56 countries:

  • The average number of days companies offer destination services and days recommended, by country (by entry-level, mid-level and executive-level employees; and by varying family sizes).
  • The most common leasing arrangement for expats, by country.
  • Destination services presenting the most difficulty, by country.
  • Departure services offered for employees leaving a location, by country.
  • Ease or difficulty getting security deposits back and timeline, by country.
  • Additional recommended destination services, by country.

According to WHR Strategic Initiatives Manager, Sean Thrun, “Benchmarking destination services helps answer key questions that are critical to employee engagement and retention: Am I offering my employees enough support? Should we provide departure services, or are employees capable of handling on their own? What should my employees be aware of when they move to this country? If your employees are highly specialized and difficult to replace, this Benchmark will guide the service level you provide, and help your employees relocate eyes wide open.”

Findings from the comprehensive Benchmark include:

  • In Germany, a security deposit can take up to 11 months to be returned because the tenant must wait until the end of the year for utility company calculations.
  • In the Philippines, a destination service provider recommended at least two days support for entry-level employees (with family sizes of one) and five days of support for executive-level employees (with family sizes of three).

WHR Global publie son Rapport comparatif sur les services de destination « Ask the Expert » 2023

MILWAUKEE, 25 avr. 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Global (WHR), un leader dans le secteur mondial de la mutation des employés, a annoncé la publication de son Rapport comparatif sur les services de destination du nom de « Ask the Expert » 2023. WHR a sondé 32 entreprises de son réseau de prestataires de services de destination de confiance, couvrant 56 pays à travers le monde. WHR croit que son Rapport comparatif aidera ses actuels et futurs clients à évaluer leurs programmes de mobilité mondiaux par rapport aux offres de services de destination d’autres sociétés pour la mutation des employés et cessionnaires. Alors que les entreprises continuent de concourir pour disposer des meilleurs talents, les avantages de la mutation doivent être compétitifs.

Les services de destination aident les employés en mutation à s’intégrer à leur nouveau lieu et peuvent inclure ce qui suit : présentation du lieu ; enregistrement dans le lieu ; gestion de location, départ de location et gestion de propriété ; recherche de logement ; conseils en hypothèque ; hébergement temporaire ; aide professionnelle pour les époux et compagnons ; aide à l’immigration (réglementations en matière de visa et d’immigration) ; recherche d’école pour les enfants ; transport des animaux domestiques ; formation linguistique et culturelle ; et d’autres services d’intégration.

Les données du Rapport comparatif de WHR comprennent ce qui suit pour 56 pays :

  • Le nombre moyen de jours pendant lesquels les entreprises offrent des services de destination et les jours recommandés, par pays (par employés de niveau initial, intermédiaire et cadre ; et par tailles de familles variables).
  • L’accord de location le plus courant pour les expatriés, par pays.
  • Les services de destination présentant le plus de difficultés, par pays.
  • Les services de départ proposés aux employés quittant un lieu, par pays.
  • Facilité ou difficulté à récupérer des dépôts de garantie et échéancier, par pays.
  • Services de destination recommandés additionnels, par pays.

Selon Sean Thrun, directeur des initiatives stratégiques chez WHR : « La réalisation d’un rapport comparatif sur les services de destination aide à répondre à des questions clés qui sont cruciales pour l’engagement et la rétention des employés : offrons-nous suffisamment de soutien à nos employés ? Devrions-nous fournir des services de départ, ou les employés sont-ils capables de se débrouiller par eux-mêmes ? Que doivent savoir nos employés quand ils partiront pour ce pays ? Si vos employés sont très spécialisés et difficiles à remplacer, ce Rapport comparatif guidera le niveau de service que vous fournissiez et aidera vos employés à effectuer leur mutation en pleine conscience. »

Les conclusions de ce Rapport comparatif complet comprennent :

  • En Allemagne, la récupération d’un dépôt de garantie peut prendre jusqu’à 11 mois parce que le locataire doit attendre les calculs des entreprises de services publics, qui se produisent à la fin de l’année.
  • Aux Philippines, un prestataire de services de destination a recommandé au moins deux jours de soutien pour les employés de niveau initial (famille monomembre) et cinq jours de soutien pour les employés de niveau cadre (famille comptant trois membres).

WHR Global Publica “Ask the Expert” Relatório Internacional de Benchmark de Serviços de Destino para 2023

MILWAUKEE, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A WHR Global (WHR), líder da indústria global de realocação de funcionários, anunciou a publicação do “Ask the Expert” (Pergunte ao Especialista), Relatório Internacional de Benchmark de Serviços de Destino para 2023. A WHR entrevistou 32 empresas da sua rede de provedores de serviços de destino confiáveis, que abrangem 56 países do mundo. A WHR acredita que seu relatório de Benchmark ajudará os clientes atuais e futuros a comparar seus programas de mobilidade global com as ofertas de serviços de destino de outras empresas para a realocação de funcionários e cessionários. À medida que as empresas continuam a competir por talentos, os benefícios da realocação devem ser competitivos.

Os serviços de destino ajudam os funcionários a se instalarem em um novo local e podem incluir o seguinte: Orientação de Área; Registro Local; Gestão de Aluguéis, Check-out de Aluguel e Gestão de Propriedade; Busca de Casa; Aconselhamento de Hipoteca; Acomodação Temporária; Assistência de Carreira de Cônjuge e Parceiro; Ajuda com Imigração (Regulamentos de Visto e Imigração); Busca de Escolas para Crianças; Mudança de Animais de Estimação; Estudo de Idioma e Cultural; e Outros Serviços de Adaptação.

Os dados de referência da WHR incluem o seguinte para 56 países:

  • O número médio de dias que as empresas oferecem serviços de destino e dias recomendados, por país (por funcionários de nível básico, médio e executivo; e por tamanhos variados de famílias).
  • O acordo de leasing mais comum para expatriados, por país.
  • Serviços de destino que apresentam maior dificuldade, por país.
  • Serviços de partida oferecidos para funcionários que saem de um local, por país.
  • Facilidade ou dificuldade em obter depósitos de segurança de volta e o tempo de espera, por país.
  • Serviços de destino adicionais recomendados, por país.

De acordo com o Gerente de Iniciativas Estratégicas da WHR, Sean Thrun: “O benchmarking dos serviços de destino responde às principais perguntas que são essenciais para a atração e a retenção dos funcionários: Estou oferecendo apoio suficiente aos meus funcionários? Devemos fornecer serviços de partida ou os funcionários podem fazer isto por conta própria? O que os meus funcionários precisam saber ante de se mudarem para este país? Para o caso de funcionários altamente especializados e difíceis de serem substituídos, esse benchmark oferece orientação quanto ao nível de serviço que deve ser fornecido e ajuda os funcionários estarem cientes do que os esperam.

O relatório do benchmark abrangente inclui:

  • Na Alemanha, um depósito de segurança pode levar até 11 meses para ser devolvido porque o inquilino deve esperar até o final do ano para os cálculos da empresa de serviços públicos sejam realizados.
  • Nas Filipinas, um provedor de serviços de destino recomendou pelo menos dois dias de suporte para funcionários iniciantes (com uma família de um membro) e cinco dias de suporte para funcionários de nível executivo (com uma família com três membros).
