Inform your successor
Selling your business or facility under the ICPE (Installations Classées pour l'Environnement - Environmentally Classified Facilities) regime

You can be bound to your buyer or your lessor:

• a contract for the sale of the activity or facility;

• a lease on the premises of the facility, in the event of transfer of the business only.

Whatever the contract, and whatever the classification of your facility (D, DC, E, A, AS), you have an obligation to inform your successor, based on either general contract law or ICPE regulations.

Failure to comply with your duty to inform exposes you to legal risk.
