Even the environmental sector "risk costs" requires a combination of specialised technical knowledge and an understanding of business. In connection with company acquisitions or sales and also for damage claims from insurance companies, our subsidiary, UMR GmbH, conducts environmental risk assessments.
In this way we can identify potentially costly weaknesses, future-endangering organisational weaknesses of the company, and environmental risks. Based on this analysis, for purchasing negotiations UMR prepares a catalogue of measures to minimise/eliminate environment-related 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 funding acquisitions and projects.
UMR GmbH is an environmental business consulting firm 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 for 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 cost-oriented analysis 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 analyses to optimise the environmental liability protection and the design of insurance models through to the formation of captives.
- Benchmarking of sites of multiples for targeted control of capital in risk management.
- Site-specific environmental impact evaluation through to the monetary evaluation of environmental damage potential.
