Environmental consulting

is often a form of compliance consulting, in which the consultant ensures that the client maintains an appropriate measure of compliance with environmental regulations. There are many types of environmental consultants, but the two main groups are those who enter the field from the industry side, and those who enter the field from the environmentalist side.

Environmental Compliance - Going Beyond the Bottom Line

A recent study builds on the growing literature that documents and explains the positive relationship between environmental performance and financial performance within and across many industrial sectors, especially those with considerable exposure to risky and undesirable environmental outcomes.

In general, improved environmental performance over the past 15 years in these industries has been the result of environmental regulation; innovation has taken place in part because of the need to comply with those regulations. However, a growing number of firms in all sectors have voluntarily introduced measures that go beyond compliance and have simultaneously improved economic performance. This trend suggests that industry can be a major force in improving environmental conditions, not just in the U.S. but worldwide.
