An Open Letter - Adopting a Proactive Approach to Resolving Environmental challenges,  commitments and Obligations

OUR PROACTIVE FRAMEWORK OFFER SOLUTIONS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO THE 

ENVIRONMENTAL  MANAGEMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE INDUSTRIES  

Dear Executives and Environmental Leaders,


Companies and organizations as many longstanding issues, but you can rest assured that Environmental Strategies Group with it's unique approach, will provide an effective solution to help solve those problems.  Regardless of your location, our proactive environmental consulting assistance can be counted on.

After several years of researching the environmental industry and speaking with experts involved with environmental issues, we have found that continuous compliance with environmental rules and commitments has been an ongoing challenge.  Although the problem is well understood, the underlying issues are often not so readily apparent.  For example, in many cases our research as found that the key contributing factors why many companies and organizations are challenged by EPA rules and other requirements include:​​

  • Not having a clear fundamental environmental management policy that goes beyond defining the basic purpose and heightened obligations of environmental issues throughout the company or organization's system.
  • Not having a detailed plan that clearly defines and outlines criteria's by which environmental goals and mission will be achieved.
  • Not taking a comprehensive and proactive approach that address and measure environmental performance progress.
  • Reacting to environmental violations instead of anticipating and proactively addressing them.
  • Environmental issues in many instances not viewed as "shared-responsibility."
  • Not staying up-to-date with environmental rules, regulations and reforms.

These are some of the reasons we thought our unique proactive environmental consulting services may be of interest to companies and organizations nationwide.
