What is environmental consulting?

Environmental consulting is a service where experts offer advice and help on environmental issues. Environmental consulting can cover many different areas, such as environmental impact assessment, environmental protection, waste management and sustainable development. Companies and organizations can use environmental consulting services, for example, to minimize environmental impacts, comply with legislation or develop environmentally friendly practices.

Environmental consulting may be necessary, for example, when planning a new construction project, expanding a factory or developing new products. Environmental consultants help customers identify risks and opportunities related to the environment and plan sustainable solutions.

Environmental consulting can also include environmental studies and measurements, which can be used to assess, for example, the quality of air, water or soil. Based on this information, decisions can be made to improve the state of the environment and reduce environmental harm.
