Greenhouse Gas Management Plans

We assist clients in developing integrated management plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fossil fuel dependency. We develop long term strategies to address environmental impacts and prioritize actions; identify opportunities for public education and outreach; and highlight the marketing potential of environmental practices.

Carbon Offsetting

For an enterprise to aspire to become carbon neutral, it will have to invest in measures to offset its greenhouse gas emissions. We work with clients to invest in projects to offset emissions and develop long term strategies for carbon offsetting as part of an overall emissions reduction strategy.

Emissions Calculators & Inventories

We assist organizations in developing comprehensive inventories of the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with their operations. We also create highly graphical and interactive emission calculators for our clients.

Noise Exposure Analysis & Planning

We assist in planning and mitigating noise impacts, primarily from aircraft movements. Through noise exposure forecasting and planning, this service has proven invaluable to demonstrating the impact of new runways as well as associated implications for surrounding communities.

Environmental Audits

Our team assists organizations in identifying, measuring and reporting key environmental metrics associated with their operations. Our environmental audits enable clients to assess their environmental performance, as well as identify and manage environmental risks.

Environmental Impact Assessments

We work with clients to identify environmental and social risks and impacts early in the project design phase to ensure that mitigation is fully integrated into the appropriate stage of the project (design, construction and operation). Our team helps to identify and engage stakeholders in meaningful dialogue to identify issues and find creative solutions. We also help clients to navigate through all the issues and requirements and to focus on areas that require additional detailed technical analysis.

Environmental Management

We work with clients who are responding to demands from financial institutions, regulators, communities and their own governing boards to improve environmental performance by identifying environmental risks and develop practical environmental management solutions. We help our clients to develop and implement environmental management and program plans to meet and exceed environmental objectives and targets.

Policy Analysis

Knowledge of best practices, understanding of process and government policy objectives and options are all key to an effective environmental policy. Our team is able to provide clients with the right environmental strategy whether it is a company seeking to be in compliance or departments of government in search of broader policy options.

Forecasting & Scenario Analysis

Our team assists clients in developing forecasts related to transportation movements, tourism volumes, demographics, energy and resource consumption, and waste and emissions. We employ a scenario-based approach to improve the validity of our projections. These "what if" experiments are thought provoking and help clients understand the future implications of both internal decisions and external forces.

Consumer & Market Research

We offer a comprehensive set of consumer and market research services to help clients better understand consumer attitudes and public opinions on environmental initiatives and issues. We take a hands-on approach to fieldwork management in order to maximize efficiencies and effectiveness, ensure accuracy and maintain high quality control standards.

Economic & Statistical Analysis

Our team is skilled at applying advanced economic and statistical techniques on data to identify strategic intelligence. Our analysis has been used to assess and development government policy and aid private sector clients in developing their marketing and strategic plans. The caliber of our analysis is reflected in the number of peer-reviewed articles published by our professionals and the successful use of our analysis in expert witness testimonials.

Decision Support Systems

We work with clients to develop simulation models and decision support tools to evaluate the environmental impacts of policy and planning options. These tools not only improve the quality of on-the-ground decisions but also help the user become better informed and more engaged in dealing with the complex challenges of environmental management.
