"The new Promap release also features enhancements to environmental risk screening report Enviroscreen, which in addition to providing an instant report on a site's environmental liabilities also now provides advice from the financial perspective of the lender as well as the client, making the transaction process much smoother and safer".
"Richard Pawlyn added: "The recent move by nine major banks to change their valuation instructions as a result of growing concerns over environmental liabilities, is evidence of the growing caution of banks over environmental risks".

"Enviroscreen reduces that risk to both developers or builders, as well as their creditors, by highlighting those risks early in the process".
