Statutory environmental assessments in France

France has a highly complex framework of environmental regulations concerning impact assessment, environmental conservation and management, classified facility procedures and climate change measures. Several specific environmental protection agencies have been set up. We are used to working with these bodies and familiar with the very detailed technical regulations involved, and draw on our network of branch offices and subsidiaries to help local authorities and private-sector players across France to design projects that are fully compliant with environmental legislation.
