Environmental Management Planning gives you the tools to assess and manage environmental issues during every phase of your project or operations. The outcome will minimize the risk of costly, time-consuming environmental issues, while maximizing productivity, bottom-line performance and goodwill.

Jacques Whitford’s professionals take a proactive and methodical approach, working in partnership with our clients to understand their business processes and objectives, identify risks and opportunities, and implement practical measures. We specialize in the comprehensive application of expertise to achieve integrated environmental performance, often utilizing the following programs:

Environmental Management Plans provide a framework through which environmental priorities, responsibilities and risks are systematically managed. EMPs, which are often a key component of a project's regulatory filings, provide the basis for assurance that environmental factors will be carefully managed throughout the project lifecycle.

Environmental Protection Plans are practical tools for the implementation of mitigation and protective measures identified in the environmental impact assessment. The plan relates anticipated project activities to sensitive environmental factors, outlining policies and procedures for the protection of the environment. Our plans are used directly in tender documents, and in the field by contractors and their employees, providing the framework for site-specific environmental protection measures.

Emergency Response and Contingency Plans Our plans fully equip you to prevent or quickly respond to any crisis, while maximizing the safety of your employees, your facilities and your community. Our experience includes plans for fuel and hazardous material spills and releases, industrial or construction incidents, fire control and protection of cultural resources and wildlife.
