Environmental Due Diligence

Due Diligence and Liability Assessments for Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures

ENVISION’s due diligence and liability assessments go beyond a typical ASTM Phase I or Phase II Environmental Site Assessment (ESA). ENVISION’s due diligence and liability assessment services are tailored to meet the requirements of each individual client. We do so because we recognize the importance of listening and attending to the specific needs of our clients. This allows us to determine the existing and projected environmental liability issues of our clients and to understand the level of risk that is acceptable to our clients.

Whether involved in a merger, acquisition or part of a divestiture, understanding and managing risk is a critical success factor. Each client has different levels of risk that must be assessed, managed, and appropriately addressed. ENVISION helps quantify the likelihood and consequences of environmental impacts and helps support our clients’ decision-making processes. ENVISION’s expertise provides key data and interpretation of environmental liabilities, including the assignment of potential monetary costs associated with:

  • Multi-media regulatory compliance (present and future)
  • Historic facility (process) practices
  • Facility (process) expansion or downsizing
  • Property history and the potential diminution of real estate values
  • Investigation/remediation of contaminated areas of concern
  • Local regulatory atmosphere and trends

ENVISION creates a dialogue that helps put problems into context and simplifies the options in moving forward. Costs and concerns of regulators, the public, and also the shareholders tend to be the primary drivers that influence company decision makers. Understanding and offering solutions based on our clients’ specific situations and needs are what our clients expect; and we deliver this in our product.

ENVISION conducts in-depth reviews of environmental conditions, permitting issues, and compliance determinations for commercial transactions, building construction and demolition projects, equipment removal and decontamination, and other needs. Conducting the appropriate due diligence activities prior to starting such projects can help avoid or minimize potential future environmental liability issues and costs.
