Pihaniemi provides a range of services that help organizations navigate the complex landscape of environmental and corporate responsibility. Typical assignments include Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) in mergers and acquisitions, audits, permits, and reporting of organization’s environmental and responsibility situation.
Environmental and responsibility risk assessment is a key part of the due diligence process in an M&A. An environmental and responsibility expert, as part of the DD team, ensures that environmental and responsibility risks relevant to the transaction are identified, their significance assessed, and their monetary value determined. The success of the project depends on swift action, accurate assessments, and a thorough evaluation of the risks’ significance. The work may include only a document review, but an on-site visit and interviews with interested parties can also be covered, if desired and agreed.
In a changing political and legislative environment, it is necessary to engage in sufficient dialogue with influential parties. Pihaniemi helps you find the right influencers, clarify the message to be conveyed, and, if necessary, manage meetings and other communications on your behalf.
