LDK has been involved in a significant number of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), in Greece and abroad, assessing environmental impacts of activities and recommending measures for their mitigation and monitoring.
EIAs have been conducted for different kinds of sectors including:
- Infrastructure, such as waste management facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, water supply facilities, natural gas transmission and distribution networks, ports, hospitals, museums, public and private buildings
- transportation, such as Motorways, Railways, Airports and other Public Transport projects

LDK has also supported Real Estate Investors, as well as large retail chains, commercial centres and hotel operators by conducting Due Diligence and Environmental Assessment Audits to assess the environmental liability of Operators and compliance with environmental legislation, while suggesting appropriate mitigation measures or corrective actions.
Additionally we have carried out Strategic Environmental Assessments in accordance with the provisions of SEA Directive 2001/42. One of our recent works was the SEA of the Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme, an ENPI-CBC (European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument – Cross Borber Cooperation) Programme, carried out on behalf of the European Commission (DG AIDCO).
