Environmental Due Diligence (EDD)

Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) assessment is a very simple and effective tool that can be used to identify and mitigate your commercial risks. Identifying, characterising and quantifying environmental liability (e.g. soil or groundwater contamination) will add value and thereby strengthen your position in any negotiations with the buyer or seller.

What is Environmental Due Diligence?

EDD is the process of assessing the environmental conditions of a property in connection with a property merger or acquisition (MA) so that investors are aware of the potential environmental liabilities.

We can help you:

By conducting a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) which covers the following processes:

• Historical records review dating back to the property's first developed use
• Carry out checks with regulatory bodies on past spills or fire incidences
• Site survey to understand current operations, and operations carried out on adjacent facilities and the surrounding areas
• Conduct interviews with on-site personnel to confirm identified potential environmental concerns
• Conduct a limited environmental, health and safety compliance assessment to provide an effective due diligence for industrial transactions
