Environmental due diligence

For over 40 years, Ramboll has been a technical leader and innovator in evaluating the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) risks associated with business transactions – from straightforward acquisition, divestiture, refinancing, and insurance placement to more complex merger, restructuring, buyout, public offering and bankruptcy situations.

Our experts tailor the scope of reviews and format deliverables to make the most of a limited due diligence period. For instance, we may supplement a Phase I environmental site assessment with regulatory compliance, product compliance or climate risk reviews.

Major law firms, private equity firms, lending institutions and corporations rely on our responsiveness and exacting quality to support decision-making in this high-stakes, time-sensitive arena.

During due diligence, private equity firms and strategic buyers are increasingly considering ESG factors – investment criteria related to environmental stewardship, social performance and corporate governance. Poor performance in these areas can negatively affect company reputation and value. However, managing ESG issues well can increase profit and productivity while reducing financial risk.

Our ESG due diligence reviews identify both risks and opportunities that can be incorporated in a 100-day plan to manage and integrate ESG performance.
