Realizing this potential is the focus of our business. Ventus is a consulting firm specializing in strategic advisory services in environmental assessment, regulatory affairs, corporate responsibility, sustainability, and capacity building. Environmental Assessment and Regulatory Affairs Ventus provides strategic advice and tactical support to industry and government sector clients engaged in EA and environmental regulatory processes.

We also work closely with EA process administrators and other government agencies to establish clear and robust practices, methods, and tools to achieve timely, efficient, and effective EA. Our approach recognizes the importance of meaningful engagement of Aboriginal people, the public, and other stakeholders, and the role of EA in contributing to sustainable development.
