Environment and the workplace
Article Abstract:
Rising levels of institutional investment in private companies have been accompanied by increased awareness of the need to consider environmental liability and due diligence. A company's access to new sources of capital may depend on its record of environmental compliance, while venture capitalists are exploring the potential of environmental liabilities to jeopardize their exit strategies. The object of environmental due diligence is to identify which issues may have a financial or legal liability, including health and safety considerations.
