Retaining the services of an environmental consultant can protect your investment and serve as well as a robust legal contract. According to the cumulative experience in Israel and worldwide, environmental problems – such as contaminated soils, groundwater and soil gases, noise, radiation, hazardous chemicals, discharge to air, soil and water – represent important issues for managers, executives and directors which influence officers’ liability. Environmental issues affect logistic costs of enterprises and factories as well as real estate and building costs (for example in financing projects, mitigation of noise and vapors in buildings, etc…).
An accurate identification of relevant environmental issues at the right time provides investors, managers and employees great benefits. Risk assessment of existing activities and/or future liabilities provides an estimated budget for required corrective actions, which can be a critical component in funding a project.
Through the identification of environmental risks, a company can reduce the risk, consequences and uncertainty, leading to significant savings of future costs.
Professional assessment and thorough review of relevant environmental issues is vital prior to closing a potential merger/acquisition deal, subsequent to a change in ownership, or incorporated into part of an ongoing business routine. Such an assessment requires interdisciplinary expertise and the ability to integrate related information of various environmental aspects.
