What is EHS Due Diligence?
EHS due diligence, especially during the pandemic, involves utilizing technologies like AI and virtual site visits to efficiently identify and understand risks earlier in the deal process. This process ensures that time and resources are focused on key risk areas and helps companies consider ESG factors in their investments.
Like in everyday life, the COVID-19 global pandemic has impacted the global financial markets, including mergers and acquisitions and TRC’s Transaction Advisory Service (TAS) is no exception. Here are some of observations and trends in the EHS due diligence market since the beginning of the pandemic.
Use of Technology/
Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI has been around for a decade or so, however, recently we have seen that M&A transaction platforms and data room providers (such as Intralinks, Datasite, etc.) are now routinely using this technology to improve deal team collaboration, process efficiencies, content control and deal diagnostics. Increasingly, this technology is being used for both sell-side deal flow and buy-side diligence, which can increase the efficiency and therefore the speed of the data room review process. As a result, clients are able to understand the EHS risks much earlier in the deal process, ensuring that time and resources are focused on the key risk areas.
The pandemic has forced EHS due diligence providers to think differently. For example, virtual site visits are increasingly becoming more common. Whether it be a virtual real-time Zoom visit, or a having local staff upload a video to a data room, this technology is here to stay. Though virtual won’t replace the value of in person site visits, they can be beneficial when providing information to a wide audience (i.e. multiple advisors, or even multiple bidders, concurrently), minimizing travel and controlling safety risks.
Attention to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
TRC continues to see more and more interest in ESG from our clients. In our experience, it’s being driven by a number of key stakeholders, including the limited partners, regulators and operational management teams. Given the pandemic, we have seen an inflection point in the demand for companies to consider ESG in their investments. Our team has developed an ESG Risk Screen tool that compares a company’s perceived or inherent ESG risk, based on factors including its sector and geographical footprint, with its actual or residual risk, based on the specifics of its operations, supply chain, customer base and risk controls. This information is used during due diligence to identify ESG risks and opportunities.
We are also seeing an increased demand in driving ESG management, monitoring and improvement through system frameworks, standards and programmatic development as part of our advisory services and post-transaction support. TRC has a developed several digital solutions to support data collection, management and reporting for both corporate and private equity clients. We have a deep bench of ESG experts who can effectively execute risk management and operational improvement projects, including greenhouse gas quantification and reporting, climate risk assessment, energy reduction, on-site and off-site renewables projects, waste minimization and water efficiency.
COVID-19 Independent Assessments for Certain Market Sectors
When working on transactions our team is frequently being asked to take a hard look at COVID-19 procedures, protocols and metrics as private equity (PE) strives to “bake in” potential down-size risk into their cost models as they negotiate transactions over the next 3 to 6 months. This has resulted in the inclusion of TRC health and safety experts in nearly all our transactions and the development of key questions and topics to discuss with target company representatives. The value that TRC brings to investment, HR and operation leads managing deals for PE firms is our practical approach to assessing and communicating COVID-19 risks, and providing reasonable cost scenarios for capital and procedural, protection and monitoring improvements. Private equity clients value this insight because it helps them to understand from an investment perspective how much impact COVID-19 could potentially have on the business until vaccines are readily available and readily accessible, which some experts estimate will not be until the 3Q-2021.
Focus on “Reshoring”
As the pandemic is forcing companies to take a hard look at their supply chains and time of delivery to their clients, many are looking at ways to be in more control and independent of third-party suppliers, which often are overseas. TRC is seeing this shift in “reshoring” as more and more companies are developing warehouse and distribution facilities closer to their end markets. Over the coming years we also expect this to be reflected in increased manufacturing, particularly of crucial supplies such as pharmaceuticals, key engineered products and food and drink, in the United States and western Europe. Our team is well suited to support this recent shift from due diligence services as properties are being sold and acquired to a host of other services along the value chain of this recent movement.
Like other transaction professionals, our team has seen a rapid increase in EHS due diligence since August 2020, and it looks like 2021 will continue to be very busy for the M&A market.

How DERMS Delivers Modern Utility Management
février 5, 2025
When purchasing a business or pursuing an acquisition, assessing the management of health and safety programs during the due diligence process plays a key role in the overall assessment of potential liabilities. Imagine buying a company without performing a health and safety assessment only to find out after closing that the company’s injury rates were well above the industry average and it had numerous OSHA inspections, thousands of dollars in citations and sky-high legal costs. An OSHA due diligence assessment puts all of the information on the table. But health and safety due diligence is more than just an evaluation of OSHA compliance. Depending on the overall objectives of the transaction, it can also focus on a company’s: Injury frequency and severity rates Injury claims history Safety culture and organization Safety compliance and performance programs Safety management system Health and safety organization and staff qualifications One element that’s useful in the facility’s overall liability picture is the cost associated with occupational injuries. A facility with expensive workplace injuries indicates inadequate control of risks. And these costs could be expensive. According to the National Safety Council, the cost for each medically consulted work-related injury in 2017 was $39,000, while the cost per death was $1,150,000. Even a small operation with a high number of injuries can have significant health and safety liabilities, which often go uncovered during an environmental due diligence assessment. And then there are the remedial costs to bring a facility into compliance and reduce the incidence or severity of injuries – items such as installation of ventilation or fire protection systems, chemical handling procedures, compliance program development and employee training.

Cet article a été rédigé à l’origine par Locana, qui fait maintenant partie de TRC. Les solutions basées sur la localisation fournissent une grande valeur commerciale à vos données et applications opérationnelles La qualité et l’exhaustivité des données sont importantes Le coût de faire des affaires n’a jamais été aussi axé sur les données. En effet, à mesure que la quantité de données continue d’augmenter de façon exponentielle, la qualité des données devient plus difficile à atteindre et plus précieuse. Sans cela, les entreprises non seulement obtiennent de mauvais résultats, mais perdent également de l’argent. Gartner a estimé que de mauvaises données peuvent coûter aux entreprises 15 millions de dollars par an en moyenne. Et d’autres recherches estiment que les entreprises perdent jusqu’à 30% de leurs revenus en moyenne en raison de la faible qualité des données. Pour que les entreprises prospèrent dans une économie axée sur les données, elles ont besoin d’une qualité qui assure une prise de décision optimale et un avantage concurrentiel. C’est là que l’enrichissement des données basé sur la localisation entre en jeu. En utilisant diverses méthodologies et ensembles d’outils d’optimisation des données, l’enrichissement des données facilite l’amélioration de vos systèmes, applications, produits et services qui reposent sur des données de haute qualité. Plus précisément, l’enrichissement basé sur la localisation organise et intègre les informations autour de la géographie, connectant les données stockées dans plusieurs départements et auprès des fournisseurs 3rd party. Qu’il s’agisse d’ajouter un emplacement à des données existantes ou d’utiliser l’emplacement pour intégrer des informations, l’enrichissement basé sur la localisation améliore l’actualité, l’exhaustivité et la précision, afin de prendre de meilleures décisions et d’optimiser les opérations.
