Environmental Risk
Assessment
“Risk costs” require a combination of technical specialised knowledge and an understanding of business even in the environmental sector. In connection with company acquisitions or sales or also for damage claims from insurance policies, our subsidiary, UMR GmbH, conducts environmental risk assessments.
In this way, costly weaknesses, future-endangering organisational weaknesses of the company as well as environmental risks are identified. Building on this analysis, for purchasing negotiations UMR prepares a catalogue of measures to minimise/eliminate environmental company risks and arguments for reductions in the purchasing price. These activities are also part of the environmental credit rating that is generated for banks for acquisition and project factorings.
UMR is an environmental management consultancy that has specialised in analysing, evaluating and expertly representing interdisciplinary themes from the environmental sector as well as presenting them at events. Consulting services are predominantly performed for banks, insurance companies, insurance brokers, solicitors and auditing companies as well as merger and acquisitions consultants and consequently for their clients.
Here, the various consulting components are provided for determining all types of environmental risks, which could endanger the short, medium or long term success of a company or which present a performance risk by accumulating environmental costs for indirect participants (e.g. financing institute, holding company).
Key activities are:
- Environmental risk cost oriented analyses and evaluation of companies or of company milestones within the framework of M&A transactions with the drawing up of measures needed, solution options and monitoring of their implementation.
- Environmental risk assessments to optimise the environmental liability protection and to design insurance models up to the formation of captives.
- Benchmarking of company-affiliated sites for targeted control of capital in risk management.
- Site-specific environmental impact evaluation up to the monetary evaluation of environmental damage potential.
