The Objective
Banks, funds, financial institutions, equity holders and/or other project owners have to understand and mitigate all risks before deciding to finance a project. An independent technical advisor can review the underlining business case and verify that the investment is feasible from technical, environmental and economic point of view.
The Solution
Due Diligence is part of the financing process and includes the evaluation of an investment opportunity before committing funds. This review is often conducted by an independent third party, such as SGS, at the approval phase of a project to identify and mitigate:
- Technical and operational risks
- Environmental and social risks
- Economical risks
SGS experts evaluate the risks’ probability of occurrence and their potential impact on the project.
Due Diligence helps avoid unexpected costs overruns and delays by identifying and mitigating risks before the investment occurs.
