Due Diligence and Corporate Services

We recognise that due diligence and robust corporate support functions are critical for ensuring transparency, compliance and success in both business transactions and wider operations.

Our team of Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) compliance consultants offer an award winning corporate and property due diligence service, partnering with a wide range of investors, including private equity firms, banks, infrastructure funds, blue-chips, developers and government agencies. Our support extends well beyond transactions through our unique EHS management system platform, Greenspace, ensuring compliance, improvement and Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Goals remain at the heart of organisations.

We provide targeted transactional support across a range of asset classes, including aviation, road, rail, ports and harbours, general industrial, property and utilities.

Our advice and reports are bespoke to each transaction and highlight liability and mitigation scenarios to maximise the deal value and ensure business risks can be managed effectively. Potential liabilities are quantified and translated into the context of the deal to provide robust, material assessment of risk. Where required, we can also assess social, governance and supply chain risks as part of our due diligence support.

Our streamlined, effective and efficient ESG services help drive positive outcomes, fulfil obligations under the investor-specific reporting requirements and quantify positive impact.

Our service includes providing strategic advice, spanning benchmarking performance, gap analysis assessments as well as providing policies, frameworks and strategies to guide our clients through their ESG journey. We can also support ongoing asset management and compliance monitoring as well as reporting against various ESG benchmarks.
