Many firms and municipalities are discovering that successful climate change and sustainability plans are more than accounting and verifying greenhouse gas emissions. Your plans can take advantage of more targeted capital investment and create efficiencies in business operations as you work toward environmental stewardship. Enhanced planning meets the most demanding stakeholders and downstream needs. Sustainability identifies other opportunities for water conservation, waste to value through renewable energy, biodiversity, and circularity in solid waste and byproduct reuse, as listed in our services.
Companies and municipalities globally are examining their net zero commitments and want to capture more value from their investments. SCS Engineers’ climate and sustainability consulting teams include scientists, construction professionals, and engineers with over five decades of specialized expertise that help our public and private clients organize, refine, and implement their plans for better returns. SCS’s long history of solution experience helps you prevent gaps between plans and goals or overstating what can be accomplished, thus protecting your investment.
There are multiple fronts to begin organizing now, with the primary motivation, as many have discovered, to gather the most information from multiple sources to create a comprehensive picture. Greater information and data in the aggregate lead to financial and more environmental value as informed solutions are cost-effective. Planning ahead also provides flexibility for adapting to evolving technologies, market conditions, and regulatory requirements.
Building flexibility into plans is beneficial and becomes more valuable as data is continuously collected and technology improves. For example, our clients can choose to accelerate a mix of carbon sequestration and reduction solutions to adapt to social, economic, or environmental conditions that may threaten to disrupt production and services.
Realistic Climate Change and Sustainability Planning
Some plans are overly aggressive or unable to pass greenhouse gas verification or assurance requirements, and this is without considering the need to meet pending or proposed regulations by federal agencies and states. Less than stellar results are often based on inaccurate baselines, a lack of data or time to collect it to make more informed solution decisions, missing opportunities, or rolling out planned solutions that may not impact direct emissions as well as they could have. Conversely, some plans may miss credits for projects that are not intended to reduce greenhouse gas but actually do reduce emissions; those emissions are not accounted for and should be counted towards the goal.
How SCS Expertise Works for Your Benefit:
SCS creates diverse teams to address each client’s specific needs. Our professional staff are located and assigned according to their knowledge of regional and local geography, regulatory policies, and industrial or scientific specialty.
