Environmental policies
ecosys can help companies to set up strategies for environmental protection, and can help them select the best remediation measures from an economic and environmental point of view. On this basis, ecosys can help to formulate and implement action plans which take account of environmental and economic constraints.
Expertise is required to adapt the existing economic instruments for environmental protection to address the needs, risks and opportunities inherent in a complex and changing context. For instance, fully understanding and assessing the impact of environmental taxes is a necessary step in order to ensure that the introduction of such policies meets the objectives of sustainability without causing undesired economic, social or environmental side effects.
