Responsible and sustainable design
Is your organization considering expanding its operations in Greater Montréal by acquiring land? Whether it involves a transaction for a single building, a portfolio of properties across multiple sites and regions, or a large-scale acquisition of an international company, it is essential to consider environmental due diligence.
Before embarking on an ambitious development project—whether it involves construction, renovation, or rehabilitation of a site—it is necessary to carefully assess the potential impacts, as this will guide the design of your project.
From the earliest stages of a public or private project, it is important to consider the design and mitigation of impacts on the environment and society, even in the absence of specific regulations. To achieve a viable and resilient project that complies with regulatory frameworks and requirements at all levels (federal, provincial, and municipal), you may need to:
- Identify and assess sustainability impacts
- Receive support for responsible investments and sustainable procurement
- Ensure environmental monitoring and assessment
- Analyze scenarios to measure climate risks
- Seek advice for regulatory compliance
Environmental due diligence supports decision-making and facilitates transactions. It is a crucial step that assesses potential environmental risks and liabilities to guide all company actions towards designing projects focused on sustainability and future growth.
