Our Values

Experience, Commitment and Results are values fundamental to our definition of quality. And, quality is our success strategy.

Experience – We select seasoned professionals who have demonstrated time-tested excellence in their fields, are practical problem solvers and have the informed insight that comes from direct exposure and involvement.  Our clients benefit from not only the skill and knowledge of our professional team members but also from the procedural best practices that distinguish experts from practitioners.

Commitment – We place our highest priority on cultivating and maintaining quality relationships with our people – our staff, our project team partners, our clients, all of their project stakeholders and the broader local, national, and global communities in and for which we live and do our work.  This is because we honor and respect the capacities, assets and participation of all people in promoting diverse, effective pathways to achieving project goals and inspiring community change.  We are committed to creating and sustaining whole communities (healthy people, homes, work places, industry & livelihoods, communities and environments) and alongside thriving, sustainable industry.

Results - It is important to us that we meet our clients’ needs while maintaining high ethical standards. We take pride in our work and take the initiative to make a difference for all of our clients.

We believe in early communication with stakeholders; the inclusion and effective use of environmental risk management principles in the initial design phases of the project; regular communications with regulatory/permitting agencies; and a very high quality, data-driven impact assessment are the keys to the success and time-efficiency of any project’s CEC/environmental impact approval and compliance process.

We are committed to:

Team Work – Collaboration is key to our success and permeates our approach to all project partners, from our clients to their project stakeholders. We believe that teamwork is a vital and strategic tool for effective problem solving, sharing of information and conflict resolution.

Interdisciplinary Problem Solving – most environmental projects and problems are multidimensional and cross disciplinary boundaries. Our model fosters bringing together the best subject matter experts from relevant fields to provide the most effective and efficient solutions for our clients.

Sound Science – The success of our clients’ projects is directly linked to our ability to produce sound scientific assessments based on state-of-the-art and -science approaches, technologies and processes. These in turn support sound, reliable, scientifically defensible & timely regulatory compliance to protect our clients‘ project investments against financial and other regulatory and risks.

Timely, Credible Results - Our service is only effective when we provide our clients with high caliber deliverables in a timely manner, reducing or eliminating the need for re-do’s and cost over-runs.
