Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) Services

The Core

Environmental Due Diligence (EDD), which can include health and safety issues, is the core of Tauw`s transactional services. In the past decades, we have assisted a wide range of clients, both vendors and buyers, in transactions around the globe, by advising them on the environmental liabilities involved. We have provided these services for (multinational) industries, real estate investors and the private equity sector.

Based on this long-standing experience, we understand the specifics and the special demands of transactional contexts. This vast experience, combined with quick mobilization and global coverage, guarantees that we can assist you in the best possible way. Our advice is tailor-made matching each individual transaction. We are pragmatic and focused on both the short-term and long-term business objectives of the transaction, not only its environmental considerations.

Typically Tauw:

• Rapid execution of services, regardless of location, to meet your deadlines
• Practical advice based upon a local pool of knowledge and expertise
• A clear understanding of risks and liabilities and of how to manage them in an efficient and cost-effective way
• An EDD methodology that goes beyond just the company only, but includes the supply chain if required
• Ongoing support during business negotiations, particularly with respect to business consequences of environmental issues or equivalents like sustainability, CSR, etcetera
• Post-transaction management of environmental, health and safety liabilities
• A single point of contact during the entire transaction process
• Regular progress updates on relevant key issues as soon as they are identified
