Chemicals Raw Materials Trading Company, Banten, Indonesia
SLP Environmental was appointed as part of a pre-acquisition due diligence process to perform a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) and a Limited Environmental, Health and Safety Compliance Review (EHS CR) on a company operating distribution, warehousing and cold storage facilities in Banten, Indonesia.
The client was considering the acquisition of the target company, and commissioned the assessment to determine i) if there were any potential soil and groundwater contamination liabilities associated with the Subject Property (Phase 1 ESA as per ASTM 1527), and ii) the compliance status of the facility with respect to key Indonesian environmental , health and safety (EHS) regulatory requirements.
The Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) comprised of a review of readily available documentation, a site reconnaissance and interviews with the Property Owner’s Representatives. The EHS Compliance Review comprised of a review of documentation made available by the DD target in advance of, and during, the site reconnaissance, observations made onsite inspections and interviews with key personnel with responsibility for EHS performance.
Particular attention was paid to practices pertaining to general EHS permitting, chemicals management, waste management, water supply, wastewater management, air emissions, occupational health, technical safety and emergency preparedness.
The EHS Due Diligence assessment was undertaken on a rapid turnaround basis and culminated in the production of a commercially focused report that clearly identified the material and other relevant EHS related issues and their respective likely mitigation costs. The report also included a checklist detailing the key EHS regulatory requirements applicable to the target companys’ operations and activities, and the current compliance status of the target company with respect to each requirement. Where non-compliances (NC) were identified, a corrective action was recommended along with a timeline for implementation based on the risk associated with each NC.
