Remote environmental due diligence and site visits

In this podcast we talk briefly about the move we are seeing towards conducting environmental due diligence and site visits remotely. This is something various consultants, companies and lenders have been considering for some time with some already carrying out virtual site visits. The travel restrictions imposed as a result of Covid-19 have accelerated the necessity of being able to conduct due diligence and site visits remotely.

We will discuss:

• what a “virtual site visit” would look like,
• who would remote due diligence and site visits be useful for,
• potential issues, and
• if this remote approach will change back once Covid-19 restrictions are lifted.
