By engaging a wide range of stakeholder groups and assigning community ambassadors to key project development roles, we’ve elevated the voices of communities.

Tools to measure social value

We leverage open-source data and develop custom methods and tools that quantify and evaluate the holistic impact of projects and help pave the way to improved outcomes.

The demographic, socioeconomic, environmental and climate change data we’ve synthesized through our work with public and private clients, including businesses in the technology and industrial sectors, is providing a complete picture of the communities in which our clients operate and wish to grow.
