Case Study: a private equity firm identifies major environmental risks across a manufacturing portfolio with Anthesis

Anthesis conducted an Environmental Due Diligence (EDD) assessment for a portfolio of more than 50 construction material manufacturing sites for a private equity firm

A private equity firm required a rapid environmental due diligence assessment to support its bid for a large portfolio of manufacturing sites, many with decades of industrial history. They engaged Anthesis to identify potential environmental risks and liabilities that could affect the acquisition's valuation and to understand the complex permitting situation across the portfolio.

Anthesis conducted data room reviews and site visits to provide a clear, high-level summary of key risks and their associated costs. Their assessment uncovered significant eight-figure environmental liabilities and permit issues that were previously missed, which provided a solid basis for negotiations. This allowed the private equity firm to make quick, informed decisions, directly impacting the commercial negotiations in their favor.
