Jacques Whitford has an unmatched record of providing our clients with Environmental Assessments that do the job - determining whether the potential environmental effects of a project are understood and mitigable, and whether the proposed project can be undertaken in an environmentally responsible manner.

We do so to help you meet stringent regulatory standards -- working with regulators and stakeholders to streamline the assessment process and expedite review and approvals. Our unparalleled multi-sector experience allows us to focus impact assessments on the issues that truly matter and employ the most effective methodologies. Our client record demonstrates that understanding and reducing the environmental impacts of projects at the planning stage is the best means of optimizing environmental and economic performance, reducing project risks and liabilities, while reaping the business and social benefits of sustainable development.
