China’s fast growing economy provides significant opportunities for both local and foreign enterprises while at the same time presenting major challenges in managing the increasing impacts on the natural environment within a landscape of vast social migration and change. Against this background ERM’s key focus is in helping foreign companies to set up, expand, maintain and divest themselves of businesses, facilities and services in line with China’s continually-developing regulatory environment.

With offices Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu, our 90+ highly-experienced professionals form a strong network of multi-disciplinary, multinational teams. We are well positioned to assist our clients across China to formulate and implement sustainable strategies that address corporate and reputation-related risks while meeting their environmental and social needs and responsibilities at all levels.

ERM has already helped multinational clients with well over 1000 EHS consulting projects in China including Merger and Acquisition Due Diligence, EIA and EHS Permitting, Site Investigation and Remediation, EHS Compliance and Assurance, Risk Assessment, Sustainable Development and Regulatory Consulting services. Our capabilities were further consolidated in September 2007 when we became the first and only foreign-invested consultancy to be awarded a prestigious Class A EIA license by the State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA). This license permits our involvement at the highest level in preparing EIAs that help clients carry out some of China’s largest and most complex development projects.
