CD&R | Encamp
One Tier II partner for every company in your portfolio
Every portfolio company comes with its own facilities, its own deadlines, and its own history of Tier II reporting. Some are on top of it. Some are not. Encamp gives every company in your portfolio the same system, the same process, and the same team, so you always know where things stand, from the day you close a deal to the day you exit it.
No more piecing together compliance status company by company. See it all in one place, and give every leadership team a partner who already knows the terrain.
Encamp Scout — AI built for environmental compliance.
Tier II rules do not stay still. States change reporting thresholds, agencies update forms, and deadlines shift depending on where a facility sits. Multiply that across every company in your portfolio, and keeping up becomes a full-time job on its own.
Scout does that job for you. It is Encamp’s AI compliance research tool, and it tracks Tier II requirements across every state and agency your portfolio companies report to. When a rule changes, Scout catches it. When a new facility comes online after an acquisition, Scout already knows what that state requires.
That means no portfolio company gets caught off guard by a rule they did not know changed, and no one on your team has to be the one who finds out too late.
How Encamp Helps
Portfolio-wide visibility
When you own a dozen companies across a dozen industries, “how is compliance going” should not require a dozen phone calls. Encamp puts every portfolio company’s Tier II status on one dashboard, so you can see who has filed, who is behind, and who is at risk, all in one place. No more chasing spreadsheets from each site, waiting on a call from a plant manager, or finding out about a problem after it has already become one. When you need an answer for a board meeting or a portfolio review, it is already there.
One standard, applied everywhere
Every company you acquire comes with its own history of compliance, for better or worse. Some ran a tight program. Others tracked Tier II requirements on a spreadsheet someone inherited from the last EHS manager. Encamp brings every company onto the same system and the same process from day one, so quality does not depend on who was running compliance before you owned the company. That means less time spent untangling how a new acquisition handled reporting in the past, and more confidence that it is being handled the right way now.
Diligence you can trust
The best time to understand a target’s compliance risk is before the deal closes, not after. Encamp helps you get a clear, honest read on a target’s Tier II history: missed deadlines, outdated facility data, fines, and gaps in reporting that might not show up in a data room. That means fewer surprises after signing, a clearer picture of what integration will take, and a stronger negotiating position if the risk is real. Compliance history is a signal. Encamp helps you read it before it reads you.
Why does it matter?
Tier II reporting touches every facility that stores hazardous chemicals above the threshold. For a portfolio company, that means one missed deadline can mean fines, agency scrutiny, and a headache for the leadership team you just backed.
For CD&R, it means something bigger. Compliance risk that looks small at one company can add up fast across a whole portfolio. A pattern of missed reports, outdated data, or manual tracking is a sign of deeper operational gaps, and those gaps show up at the worst time: during diligence, during an audit, or during an exit.
Encamp gives you a way to see that risk clearly and fix it before it becomes a problem. One system, one source of truth, and one team that knows the terrain across every company you own.
