Environmental due diligence - EDD

EDD is an important part of most mergers and acquisitions. The purpose is to evaluate the potential liability costs associated with environmental issues. 
Ramboll's network of specialists allows us to carry out the EDD process anywhere in the world
 
 
The EDD process involves evaluating historical land-use data and activities, interviewing relevant staff, site inspecting sites and evaluating risks and potential costs. It often includes health and safety issues. Our project experience covers a large range of customers and industries, such as estate agents, hotels, and refineries. Buying customers benefit from a potential reduction in sales price, selling customers benefit from an unchanged sales price.

The EDD process

A full EDD process normally includes:

  • Start-up meetings with customer or lawyer
  • Phase I 
    • Data room inspection 
    • Questionnaire or interviews with managers
    • Site inspection
    • Report, including findings, risk evaluation, liability costs, recommendations
  • Phase II
    • Field investigations of recommended issues from phase I
    • Report, including detailed budgets of remediation or abatement

    These general processes are always tailored to meet our customers’ needs.

  • Phase III
    • Remediation of located contamination, abatement of noise, vibrations or odour
