Environmental Due Diligence
Environmental due diligence is the process of assessing the potential and actual environmental risks and liabilities associated with a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, or property development. It typically involves reviewing environmental permits, compliance records, and site assessments in order to identify potential issues, such as soil or groundwater contamination, hazardous material use, or regulatory violations. Environmental due diligence can help parties to make informed decisions, allocate risks, and to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
