Environmental Due Diligence
In a world of ever increasing environmental regulation, the impact of environmental issues has fast become a proactively managed boardroom issue.
Today, Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) is an increasingly important part of the mergers and acquisition process. While there is a clear downside in neglecting to consider environmental risks, there is also the possibility that, on occasion, environmental liabilities may have been over-stated by previously conducted studies. This may result in valuable investment opportunities being missed. A careful examination of the assumptions underlying existing environmental liability estimates can therefore yield beneficial results.
Our Due Diligence Expertise
As an organisation whose primary focus is on assessing, mitigating and managing environmental risks, we understand the need to determine project risk prior to making investment decisions and are well placed to guide buyers, sellers, investors and lenders through the Environmental Due Diligence process.
From large scale onshore wind farms requiring technical due diligence, (such as energy yield, site and planning assessments and turbine specification), through to active sites requiring environmental due diligence, (such as noise, biodiversity, habitat impact and environmental compliance), our expert team has carried out environmental due diligence across a broad range of clients, during the development and operational stages.
