Environmental advisory support

A clear response to a specific environmental question

We start with the decision you need to make: whether a proposed change needs further assessment, what information is missing or how to respond to an identified risk. We establish the question and the operational context so that the advice relates to the actual process, facility or project stage rather than a generic description of the topic.

We examine the decisions, technical descriptions, test results or correspondence relevant to the question. We explain how the information connects and distinguish supported findings from matters requiring further evidence. Where several courses of action are available, we outline what each means for working arrangements, the documentation needed and the involvement of appropriate technical specialists.

The outcome may be an expert opinion, recommendations or a plan for further action. Its depth reflects the complexity of the issue and the available evidence. If documents alone cannot support a reliable answer, we identify the necessary measurements, checks or separate study rather than presenting an assumption as an established finding.

Framework agreement and ongoing environmental support

Ongoing support shaped around your facility

Environmental support needs to address routine operations alongside changes to processes, equipment and working arrangements. We begin by reviewing the facility's activities, available decisions, existing documentation and data collection practices. Together, we identify matters requiring regular attention and issues arising from expansion or modernisation that need their own specialist assessment or documentation.

This review informs the scope of support, allocation of responsibilities and work schedule. We structure information flows between operations staff, project teams and technical specialists. Within the agreed scope, we review documents, prepare material for communication with authorities and explain how proposed changes affect the next steps. Periodic reporting makes open issues and completed actions visible to the team.

The framework agreement defines the boundaries of the service and how additional work is commissioned. Measurements, modelling or documentation for a new development are included only as agreed. Findings reflect the information available at the time, so significant changes at the facility provide a reason to revisit priorities and update the support plan.

Technical data

Subject Operational obligations, documentation and changes at the facility
Service type Ongoing advisory and coordination support
Assessment basis and requirements Facility decisions and records, the agreed service scope and requirements applicable to the matters being supported.
Method
  1. Review documents, processes and responsibility for supplying data.
  2. Agree priorities, a schedule and a route for raising new issues.
  3. Coordinate analyses and materials for the agreed obligations.
  4. Report progress periodically and update the action plan.

Environmental data preparation for ESG reporting

Build an environmental dataset with a traceable evidence trail

We agree the environmental information needed by the reporting team, organisational boundaries and reference period. Available data on the selected topics, such as energy, emissions, water or waste, is reviewed. Information owners, indicator definitions and collection frequency are identified before records from different facilities, systems or documents are combined into a consolidated dataset.

Units, calculation methods and aggregation rules are organised consistently. Measured or documented values are distinguished from estimates and missing information. For relevant indicators, we establish a route from the original record through any calculation to the reported value. This helps explain discrepancies, reduce double counting and prepare a repeatable process for updating information in the next reporting period.

The service concerns the agreed environmental dataset, not automatically the complete ESG report or every area of the organisation. We identify completeness and comparability limitations where they affect interpretation. Preparing the package is not independent assurance or a standalone declaration of report compliance; its purpose is to organise the agreed information base for reporting.

Technical data

Subject Environmental indicators and data sources within the agreed ESG reporting scope.
Service type Data preparation, collection methodology and audit trail development.
Assessment basis and requirements Agreed reporting scope, indicator definitions, organisational boundaries, reporting period and available supporting records.
Method
  1. Define indicators, boundaries and responsibility for supplying information.
  2. Review sources, units and comparability of the available data.
  3. Organise calculations, aggregation and the trail from source to output.
  4. Prepare the package and a method for updates in subsequent periods.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive an environmental data package and collection methodology, including indicator definitions, sources and calculation explanations. Estimates, gaps and comparability limitations are identified alongside responsibilities for future updates. The material helps the reporting team use the information and explain its preparation without extending the assignment into a declaration of compliance for the complete report.

Scope and limitations

The service does not include a standalone declaration of report compliance.

Environmental due diligence (EDD)

Environmental risks in the context of an asset transaction

The EDD scope reflects the asset, its history and the purpose of the transaction. Restrictions affecting an operating installation raise different questions from incomplete information about land intended for development. Before assessing the evidence, we agree the review boundaries, access to information and the issues most relevant to the investor, legal adviser or financing institution.

We review environmental documentation, decisions, available investigation results and information on how the asset is used. We examine consistency between these sources and potential obligations associated with identified shortcomings or proposed operational changes. Risks are organised by their relevance to the transaction, with issues requiring clarification, further investigation or discussion between the parties identified explicitly.

Any consideration of potential costs is tied to stated assumptions and the available evidence. A missing document does not by itself prove either the absence or presence of a problem. The report makes these limits clear; field investigations, detailed cost estimates and legal analysis are scoped separately where needed to resolve material questions.

Technical data

Subject Environmental risks, liabilities and potential costs associated with an asset
Service type Environmental review for transactions or financing
Assessment basis and requirements Agreed EDD scope, asset documentation, land-use history and information made available for the transaction.
Method
  1. Define asset boundaries and questions relevant to the transaction.
  2. Review documentation and identify gaps in the available information.
  3. Assess the significance of identified obligations and potential costs.
  4. Prioritise risks and define further enquiries or investigations.
Delivery model KFB Enviro with a partner/subcontractor

What you receive

You receive an EDD report and risk register linked to the sources reviewed. They explain the findings, their significance for the asset and questions requiring further investigation. The material supports transaction discussions, the commissioning of additional studies and consideration of identified obligations when planning future use or financing, while keeping uncertainties visible.

Legal support on environmental matters

A coordinated technical and legal position

This service addresses matters where installation records, test results or the nature of an environmental impact influence the available course of action. It may concern application documentation, questions raised by an authority or an operational issue. With the client and legal partner, we separate questions requiring technical assessment from those that call for legal analysis.

KFB Enviro organises the technical evidence, including process descriptions, measurement data, calculation assumptions and operating conditions. We explain the significance and limitations of results and investigate inconsistencies between documents. The legal partner considers this material in the context of the matter. Coordination helps ensure that the proposed position and the technical documentation refer to the same underlying facts.

KFB Enviro is responsible for technical input; legal services are provided by a qualified partner. The partner's activities, including any representation, are agreed separately. Recommendations reflect the available evidence and unresolved questions. We do not replace missing data with unsupported assumptions or predetermine the outcome of proceedings or a dispute.

Technical data

Subject Technical and legal aspects of a defined environmental matter
Service type Coordinated preparation of a technical and legal opinion
Assessment basis and requirements Case documents, reviewed technical evidence and legal analysis undertaken by a qualified partner.
Method
  1. Separate technical and legal questions and allocate responsibilities.
