ECOLOGIA Consulting Services

• transfer experience and information, and
• promote cooperation and mutual understanding

between the private sector and the non-profit sectors (including civil society and community based organizations).

Uniquely powerful synergies encouraging sustainable development are emerging at the public-private sector interface. In order to facilitate this, ECOLOGIA provides fee-for-service consulting to businesses, government agencies, and communities seeking to:

• develop strategic plans capturing opportunities in emerging trends in the fields of sustainable development and corporate social responsibility;
• implement environmentally and socially responsible business practices;
• train personnel in the innovative, creative and appropriate use of environmental management systems in order to gain economic as well as environmental and social benefits;
• develop value added businesses and brand names (corporate or regional) that allow those who do good also to do well economically;
• develop constructive public participation programs for industrial facilities and communities making major transitions involving labor force and social dislocation. See "Sustainable Development Planning: Progress in Visaginas".

We also work globally on the development of the ISO 26000 guidance standard on social responsibility. In that spirit, ECOLOGIA provided informal third party comments on the Social Responsibility Report for 2005 by a Japanese company which is a leader in CSR.
