Overview
Governments globally set regulations to preserve, protect and improve the quality of the environment and promote the prudent, rational use of resources. In the energy sector, this means reducing as far as possible the risk of major accidents and pollution. As a leading provider of specialist environmental services, we help you limit the consequence of incidents, supporting you with:
- Establishing minimum conditions for the safe exploration and exploitation of natural resources and sources of renewable energy;
- Increasing the protection of the environment and dependent economies against pollution;
- Improving responses in case of an accident;
- Demonstrating financial responsibility for major oil spill incidents;
- Maximising economic recovery and return on investment.
We also assist regulators, including when writing new environmental regulations.
