Environmental Due Diligence – Your challenge
Environmental Compliances and liabilities have become part of critical business risks. If not managed properly, they may pose significant loss exposure to any merger, acquisition (M&A) or financial deals. They can influence the brand reputation, financials and the value of an enterprise.
As a result, the investors, funders or project proponents need to understand the Environmental risk exposure before, during and post-merger & acquisition (M&A). A professional quality independent environmental due-diligence helps in accurate and strategic decision making.
