Environmental Cost Management: Portfolio Strategies

Gradient estimates environmental costs for clients in M&A transactions, for global settlement of insurance claims, or for balance sheet reserves. Often these issues hinge upon entire "portfolios" of contaminated properties, not just single sites. We are often asked not only to assess the potential magnitude of liabilities (cost), but also to provide confidence bounds on the reliability/uncertainty of such estimates.

Accurate estimation requires an understanding of what needs to be done as well as how much it will cost. Gradient's ability to understand environmental studies, knowledge of regulatory drivers, and risk assessment/cleanup level experience are all keys to accurate, optimized estimation.
