Remediation & Regeneration

De-risk complex asset portfolios

Environmental liabilities are a part of almost every organization’s asset portfolio and balance sheet. The regulatory, technical and social complexities of these liabilities can heighten reputational risk and reduce asset value.

The cleanup and management of contaminated sites is complex and costly. Even organizations with well-established remediation programs frequently experience increased costs due to unanticipated issues, such as PFAS and other emerging contaminants.

The growing focus on sustainability and decarbonization by regulators and investors means more organizations are looking to optimize operational footprints, decommission legacy assets, remediate contaminated sites and explore regeneration opportunities.

Stakeholder pressure is growing to implement remediation solutions that leave a positive, lasting legacy by delivering nature-positive outcomes and supporting the social aspects of a just transition.
