Environmental Communications
 In the first decade of the new millennium, America lived through Enron, BP, and a Great Recession created by companies "too big to fail." The result is damaged public trust in corporations to be guardians and stewards of the environment, public health and safety. The second decade so far has witnessed the failure of safeguards at Tokyo Electric Power's Reactor in Fukushima, Japan, which have only solidified world skepticism and further eroded what trust was left. As a result, the public outcry is for greater transparency and communication not less. All this while the Internet provides access to information without context and social media gives voice and a platform to anyone who wants it. Environmentalists are no longer called "tree huggers." They are what our children aspire to become.
Any company wishing to maintain its license to operate is forced to incorporate environmental issues into many of 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, Henry & Germann 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
