Our environment is under pressure from many sides. Pollutants in air, water and soil, noise and radiation affect the health of the population and the natural basis of life for animals and plants. The consumption of natural resources and the intensive use of land further restrict the habitats for humans and nature. Measures to protect our environment and natural resources must be based on sound principles and implemented efficiently in order to be effective. Early involvement of the stakeholders involved ensures a high level of acceptance and targeted implementation. As a professional link between the fields of technology, environment and society, we support decision-makers in identifying the need for action, developing action plans and communicating them.
We support the public sector and private actors in their strategic planning, the definition of concrete measures and their effective implementation. We directly contribute our profound experience in environmental law and policy. Our activities focus on impact and cost assessments, stakeholder analyses, compilation of inventories, implementation and impact monitoring, and evaluations of legislation.
