“Saving money here and there can end up costing millions.” ... I am delighted to share the podcast with Sebastian Schröder, Head of the Environmental Department at Panattoni Germany. 🌏 Sebastian talks about the importance of environmental due diligence in real estate developments and transactions. 🌎 Sebastian explains the environmental due diligence process, from initial screening through Phase I and Phase II investigations to engagement with the authorities. 🌍 He also shows how environmental issues are incorporated into underwriting, contract drafting and project planning. 🌏 Another focus is the growing importance of brownfield developments and Sebastian's role with #DEBV (Deutscher Brownfieldverband). 🌏 Issues such as PFAS, radon and unexploded ordnance are increasingly shaping logistics and industrial projects. 🌍 On complex sites, transparent dialogue with sellers, authorities and consultants is crucial. 🌏 Sebastian Schröder co-authored the chapter on environmental due diligence in the book Real Estate Investment and ESG together with Piotr Kociolek.
