What are
DNSH assessments for PNRR
projects

DNSH assessments for PNRR projects are technical reports that demonstrate, with respect to the six European environmental objectives, that the intervention does not cause significant harm and complies with the constraints, technical data sheets, and checklists set out in the Operational Guide.

  • It reduces the risk of disputes and funding cuts.
  • It aligns the project, specifications, and supplies with environmental constraints.
  • Strengthen reporting and traceability of DNSH checks.

Eligibility

Who can benefit

from DNSH assessments

General contractors and temporary associations of companies

We assist general contractors and temporary consortia involved in complex tenders, coordinating DNSH documentation between designers, suppliers, subcontractors, and implementing entities.

Engineering companies

We work with professional firms and engineering companies that want to correctly integrate DNSH, CAM, and climate risk analysis requirements into their designs.

Contracting authorities and RUPs

We work with contracting authorities, RUPs, and project managers who need technical support in preparing DNSH reports and ex ante and ex post checklists.

Private beneficiaries of the PNRR

We support companies and private entities that are beneficiaries of PNRR contributions and must demonstrate compliance with the DNSH principle for investments, supplies, and works financed.

Public implementing bodies

We support administrations that are responsible for or implement PNRR measures and wish to strengthen the DNSH compliance of projects, specifications, contracts, and variations during construction.

Our method

We follow a technical and
regulatory process process that ensures fast turnaround times and
complete documentation.

We outline the intervention, the PNRR measure, the applicable DNSH regime, and the required documentation, clarifying the roles of the implementing entity, the RUP, the designers, and the beneficiaries.

We identify relevant technical data sheets, related CAMs, and ex ante and ex post checklists to be completed, avoiding frequent errors and omissions in the checks.

We collect project documents, authorizations, environmental studies, energy data, and supporting documents, verifying their consistency with DNSH criteria on climate, water, waste, pollution, and biodiversity.

We draft the DNSH assessment, compile the required checklists, justify design choices and non-applicability, indicating evidence to be attached for each environmental requirement verified.

We present the results to the RUP, designers, and construction managers, suggest any design adjustments, and train the team on the correct operational management of DNSH constraints.

We assist the implementing entity with reporting, preparing a complete DNSH file and responding to any additional requests from MASE, MEF, accounting departments, or control bodies.
