Environmental Due Diligence: What Is It and Why Does it Matter?

With attention to detail, proven processes, and hardworking individuals, we can help your business do its part in stewarding resources well.

What is It?

Put simply, environmental due diligence refers to the process of managing a client’s liability in relationship to environmental assets. Most often, an assessment is conducted to piece together enough data to build a historical profile around an asset. With environmental regulations and best practices often changing over the lifetime of an asset, conducting due diligence ensures a client has all pertinent information prior to a transaction or progressive action regarding the asset.

Why Does It Matter?

By engaging in a proactive site assessment process, a client can mitigate potential liability and rest assured knowing they have all the necessary information regarding a site. Projects fail every day due to lawsuits, fines, and previously unforeseen site remediation. Thus, conducting due diligence sheds light on any potential liability.
