Typical Products

Policy, economic, regulatory, and benefits analysis. 
We provide comprehensive, defensible analysis of the benefits, costs, economic impacts, and cost-effectiveness of alternative environmental policies, programs, regulations or legislation. 

Improved environmental decision processes.
We help clients make better decisions by working with them to clarify their objectives, acquire appropriate data, apply analytical techniques, focus their management systems, and train their staff. 

Critical review of environmental analyses done by others. 
The nature of an environmental regulation is strongly influenced by the analytical studies supporting the regulation.  The data, assumptions and methodological choices that critically affect the outcome of the supporting analyses are identified and better alternatives are suggested. 

Comparative risk analysis. 
The environmental problems facing a geographic area are analyzed and ranked in order of the severity of the risks they pose.  Measures to reduce these risks are then developed and evaluated.  Guidance is provided for resource allocation.  

Priority-setting techniques. 
We assist clients in developing environmental strategies or ongoing management systems that aim to maximize the environmental benefits obtained from the available resources. 

Project evaluation.
We assess the technical, financial, and institutional viability of a proposed project, and project its likely internal cash flows and needs for external financing. 

Environmental business plans.
A good business plan will integrate financial and environmental goals and lay out the steps by which they can be achieved.
