The urgent need to reduce air, soil, water pollution and waste has created new business challenges and opportunities and has put the value of established technologies and industries at risk. While the direct impacts of pollution concerns can be significant, the longer-term indirect impacts are likely to be more complex and more substantial, especially for automotive companies, food, agribusiness, transportation and logistics companies and the process industries.

We do not treat air, water or soil pollution as an environmental issue to “be managed”.  We treat it as a business issue with implications on revenues, costs and longer-term value.

For solution providers, we consider end-user technologies across different geographic regions, and design proactive, solutions-oriented approaches to capture new market opportunities and improve both short- and medium-term sales growth and the longer-term R&D strategy. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the urgent need to address air pollution issues. For example, recent research indicates that a small, single-unit increase in people’s long-term exposure to pollution particles raises infections and admissions by approx. 10% and deaths by approx. 15%.
