Integrated Transaction Advisory Solutions
EHS Due Diligence
Every deal is different, and clients may have varying diligence requirements. TRC is adept at tailoring and conducting the specific diligence scope – ranging from simple ASTM Phase I’s to complex M&A asset evaluations requiring 100s-1000s of facility inspections and full liability analysis including both known and unknown potential non-compliance/remediation or other latent liability analysis and quantification. Our broad scope of solutions are customizable and supported by our vast company-wide network of subject matter experts.
Oil & Gas Technical Due Diligence
Today in many M&A transactions, investments require additional vetting and assurance around asset’s physical operations and equipment. TRC specializes in the technical evaluation of O&G systems ranging from full linear project scoping, design, construction costing, process flow modeling and capacity assurance to mechanical integrity and corrosion analyses. TRC’s O&G group has over 200 subject matter experts that support transaction diligence.
Liability Quantification and Cost Modeling
TRC is a market leader in the identification, quantification and cost estimation of environmental risk. We support our clients in a broad range of transactional, insurance underwriting and financial/risk management applications. Using Decision Trees and Monte Carlo simulations, TRC analyzes entire portfolio of sites, providing comprehensive environmental liability costing services.
Post-Transaction Planning and Integration Support
Often during due diligence, issues are identified that may or may not rise to the level of a material issue, yet they still require corrective actions and are often left as open items for the operations teams to address post-closing. TRC works with the operations teams to prioritize open risk items including risk mapping and development of 100-day plans. Our extensive company-wide network of subject matter experts provide the basis for any post-transaction support role a client may need.
ESG/Sustainability Screening
As a growing interest continues with environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues among leading private equity firms, their institutional investors, public corporations and their stakeholders, M&A activity is now mandating a determination and assessment of a target’s ESG programs and performance to these non-financial performance indicators. In response, TRC now provides an ESG Risk Screening Tool, AnalyzESG, for ESG due diligence engagements. In addition, our ESG and Sustainability Advisory team can perform detailed ESG, sustainability, climate risk analyses, strategy development and program support including data collection, monitoring and reporting to meet global reporting initiatives.
