Environmental due diligence is about risk visibilityโsoil history, prior operations, and regulatory commitments.
Key points
- Site history review (past land-use, storage, spills, and legacy waste).
- Regulatory status check (consents, notices, pending litigation).
- Walkthrough inspection (drains, tanks, storage areas, housekeeping).
- Sampling plan (if required) for soil/groundwater/effluent.
- Corrective action roadmap with realistic timelines and budget ranges.
A good report doesnโt just describe issues; it prioritizes fixes and makes financing smoother.
