Environmental Advisory
Environmental advisory supports responsible corporate governance by managing environmental agendas and ensuring compliance with environmental legislation. We focus on corporate ecology and occupational health & safety (OHS) for industrial enterprises, as well as environmental matters in the real estate sector. We provide comprehensive environmental and OHS services to help companies ensure their operations and acquisitions comply with legal requirements and sustainability principles.
We combine technical expertise, hands-on industrial practice, experience from the B2C sector and real estate market, and – above all – a personal approach. Our goal is not only to meet regulatory obligations but also to help companies build a responsible and resilient business, enhance operational efficiency and safety, and strengthen both their competitiveness and their credibility with customers, partners, and public authorities.
Our Environmetal Advisory services include:
Environmental Due Diligence
Environmental Due Diligence is a proactive assessment of land or real estate for potential environmental hazards/risks. Identifying an asset's environmental risks is imperative before acquisition. Environmental site assessments detail a site's liabilities and evaluate the requirements for remediation, helping clients understand the site's actual value. Anyone purchasing a property can benefit from environmental due diligence. The process reduces the chances of someone buying real estate and inheriting ecological concerns created by the former owners. It also provides an essential legal defense should issues arise. We perform Environmental Due Diligence in two phases in accordance with ASTM standards for ESA Phase I and ESA Phase II.
A Phase I ESA is an initial evaluation that involves:
- Records Review
- Site Inspection
- Communication
The goal is to identify environmental conditions without physical sampling by tracing the site's history as far back as possible to assess potential sources of contamination.
A Phase II ESA is conducted if an area of concern is identified in the Phase I ESA. It involves:
- In-site sampling
- Laboratory analysis
- Data interpretation
The goal is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the site’s environmental conditions to inform remediation or further action.
Since we primarily perform Environmental Due Diligence for investors and developers, we offer it as a part of a comprehensive package with other relevant surveys:
- Geological survey
- Hydrogeological survey
- Asbestos survey
- Pyrotechnic survey
- Corrosion survey (stray currents)
EHS Audit
EHS Audit is the most comprehensive type of environmental audit, covering a full review of a company’s legal compliance status with all relevant legislation. It provides an independent assessment of EHS legal requirements and how effectively the company meets them. This tool enables us to evaluate and quantify the client's environmental performance and identify issues related to process implementation and regulatory compliance.

Product Stewardship
Product Stewardship is the responsible management of a product throughout its entire life cycle – from design and manufacturing to use and end-of-life treatment. For companies, it represents a practical way to stay compliant with rapidly evolving regulations, reduce operational and regulatory risk, streamline internal processes, and enhance overall sustainability and brand credibility. As consultants, we help clients turn complex product stewardship requirements into a clear, efficient, and scalable system. Our work reduces administrative burden, strengthens compliance, improves cost efficiency, and supports stronger ESG performance, allowing your organisation to compete more effectively in a sustainability-driven market. We ensure proper care and compliance with requirements within supply chains. We offer comprehensive services in responsible purchasing and environmental legislation (primarily REACH, RoHS, and SCIP).
Partnering with us means gaining a reliable expert who not only safeguards your compliance, but also elevates your products, processes, and brand – turning stewardship from an obligation into a competitive advantage.
