Environmental Risk Consultancy
Our Expertise
At Provectus Group Ltd we provide advice to a wide variety of industry sectors on mergers & acquisitions, divestiture, financial related or turnaround situations. These assessments have been undertaken by Provectus Group for in excess of 18 years within the UK and have become part of routine transactional related evaluations undertaken to protect companies, lenders, investors and developers from risks associated with land or property that may have environmental liabilities associated with them. The key in the evaluation process is in the quality of the interpretation, the provision of pragmatic advice on each of the material environmental aspects and what these mean for the business in terms of commercial risk and a companies bottom line.
In order to demonstrate our capability within this service sector we have provided below an indication of some of the services we can provide:
- Desk Based assessment and Site Inspection of land or assets (including operational and closed facilities or developed sites)
- Environmental Due Diligence audits to assess performance against corporate, legislative or industry best practice standards
- Lender Liability Audits to identify key environmental risks that may have a bearing on a transaction or commercial prospect
- Preliminary Risk Assessments provide an initial evaluation of risks that may be associated with sites

Provectus Total Risk Transfer
Our tremendous strength and breadth of environmental expertise means that no matter how large or complex the environmental issues faced by businesses, we can provide truly seamless environmental solutions. We believe that no company in the world can match our range of environmental capabilities.
Often we apply solutions in combination. For example our consultants may work in partnership with the owners of a derelict contaminated site. Our remediation operations will then clean it up to the satisfaction of environmental regulators. Our sister company, Provectus UK may provide environmental insurance cover so as to provide further risk reduction for the benefit of the turnaround and other stakeholders.
Benefits of our complete range of environmental capabilities include:
- Fast resolution of environmental issues
- Unlocking value from sites previously regarded as liabilities
- Provision of capital to help businesses bring forward difficult sites for development
- Professional, robust responses to regulators and local interest groups
- Minimising risk from environmental issues and ensure compliance with legislation so as to maintain or indeed enhance brand reputation
- Environmental insurance cover (through third parties) to reduce potential financial liabilities to policyholders
- Local UK and global coverage to support the most diverse international turnarounds
