Environmental Communications                               

In the recent past, America has lived through, among others, Enron, BP, 9/11 and the health impacts to first responders, and a Great Recession created by companies “too big to fail.” We’ve watched as nuclear reactors failed, religious institutions covered up child abuse, social media rose in importance, people chose beliefs over science, and the partisan divide expanded to levels not witnessed in generations.

The result is damaged public trust. Neither corporations nor government nor traditional media outlets are trusted to be guardians and stewards of the environment, public health and safety. The public expects and demands greater transparency and communication, not less.

Any company wishing to maintain its license to operate must incorporate environmental issues into their critical business decisions. From product introduction to branding to facility siting and construction, failure to take environmental issues into account can have a real impact on a company’s bottom line.

As one of the nation’s leading environmental communications firms, H&G can help to identify the stakeholders with the greatest potential to impact your business and develop strategies to work with those stakeholders toward an outcome that meets your goals. We have worked successfully with environmental groups, government officials, local residents, the press and others during controversial and potentially controversial situations.
