PRIVATE EQUITY EHS

Turn the EHS Thesis Into an Operating System Across the Portfolio.

EHS due diligence, post-acquisition integration, and portfolio-wide safety leadership for private equity firms and their operating partners — from a CSP who has worked both sides: global manufacturing safety programs and PE roll-up operations.

EHS surprises don’t show up in the data room.
They show up after close — priced at your expense.
WHY IT MATTERS TO THE MODEL

EHS is a value lever, not a compliance checkbox

Insurability

Claims history and EMR trajectory drive premiums and cost structure across the hold period.

Hidden liabilities

Regulatory exposure surfaces post-close — priced at your expense, not the seller’s.

Culture is a proxy

Safety culture is one of the fastest honest reads on a target’s operational discipline.

Capex surprises

Compliance gaps carry capital costs your model should have priced.

Integration drag

Every add-on running its own safety system multiplies management overhead.

The exit story

A documented EHS operating system is diligence-proof when it is your turn to sell.

How It Works

From pre-close diligence to the first 100 days.

Pre-close: a program maturity read against our EHS Maturity Ladder, liability and exposure assessment, claims and EMR trajectory, capex implications of compliance gaps, and an integration cost estimate you can put straight into the model. Scoped flat-fee, at deal speed, under NDA.

The first 100 days: recordkeeping and incident response standardized first, legal-deadline items triaged across every site, one reporting cadence installed up to the deal team, and visible early wins that show the workforce the new owner takes safety seriously. One add-on or a platform roll-up — the play is the same.

Who this is for

PE deal teams and operating partners acquiring manufacturers, industrial services, or hardware companies — from pre-LOI reads to platform roll-ups.

Why it matters

EHS gaps you don’t price pre-close get priced post-close — in claims, capex, and management distraction.

WHO YOU’RE WORKING WITH

An operator who has worked both sides

CSP and CHMM-credentialed EHS leadership built in global manufacturing programs, combined with hands-on PE roll-up operating experience. One fractional EHS operating partner across your portfolio companies: shared standards, cross-portfolio metrics, board-ready reporting — at a fraction of the cost of a dedicated hire inside every opco.

FAQ

Private equity EHS, answered

Do you work for the deal team or the portfolio company?

Both, at different stages. Diligence and integration planning serve the deal team; post-close we operate inside the portfolio company with reporting up to the sponsor.

Can you do a pre-LOI read?

Yes — a scoped desktop review of what is knowable from outside, upgraded to full diligence once you have data-room access.

How is this billed?

Flat fee per diligence engagement; flat monthly retainer per portfolio company for integration and ongoing leadership. No hourly billing.

Do you replace the opco’s safety people?

No. We lead, standardize, and build them. Where a site has no EHS staff at all, we run the function until the right structure is in place.

What industries?

Manufacturing, industrial services, and hardware — anywhere the target has real physical operations and real physical risk.

How fast can you mobilize on a live deal?

Diligence timelines are set by your deal calendar, not ours. Tell us the close date on the call and we will scope backwards from it.

Before the next close — or the next surprise.

Put EHS on the operating agenda. Scoped diligence starts with one call.
