Environmental Due Diligence
Informed Decisions Start with Environmental Due Diligence
Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) evaluates the environmental conditions, liabilities and potential risks associated with land, facilities and development projects. The findings provide critical insights for investment, acquisition, development and divestment decisions, while identifying environmental issues that may affect asset value, regulatory compliance or future land use.
Environmental liabilities can have significant implications for project feasibility, property transactions and long-term operational costs. Assessing these risks early enables companies to understand potential exposures, address regulatory requirements and make informed decisions before committing to a transaction or development.
Depending on the site conditions and level of investigation required, assessments may include Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs). Phase I ESAs identify recognised environmental conditions through site inspections, historical land-use reviews and other relevant records, while Phase II ESAs involve soil and groundwater investigations to determine the presence, nature and extent of potential contamination.
