Due diligence assessment is usually restricted to considering the financial aspects of an asset, and often overlooks the non-financial risks that may compromise the economic viability or operability of a project. However, experience has shown that neglecting non-financial risk areas such as environmental, socio-economic and sustainability may be problematic and, under extreme circumstances, potentially disastrous, particularly in countries that are still in the developing phase.
Four-D can assist financial institutions and global finance bodies, multilateral/ international aid agencies etc to assess the environmental, health & safety and social accountability aspects of any project.
