Can a room filled with industry professionals gathered to discuss regulations be inspiring?
We think so, especially when the regulations are meant to further the environmental justice (EJ) priorities, such as the recent Executive Order “Revitalizing Our Nation’s Commitment to Environmental Justice for All,” and significant federal funding opportunities such as the Bipartisan infrastructure law and the Inflation Reduction Act, and can accelerate the #Justice40 initiative.
Recently, Ramboll invited industry, lawyers, and trade association professionals to an #environmentaljustice workshop in our Arlington, VA office.
The day was marked by a lively exchange of ideas. Attendees told us that they valued the engagement that came with each session. The panels, featuring guest speakers and Ramboll experts, presented a unique opportunity for different industries to come together and learn from each other.
Agenda topics included:
- Regulatory drivers, tools, and interpretation of scores
- Siting considerations and permitting
- Public engagement and involvement
- EJ, Ethics, and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
- Industry panel: EJ in real life
Ramboll’s experts go beyond screening tools when it comes to meeting the EJ goals presented by government and regulatory agencies. They bring experience and knowledge of site solutions, air quality, due diligence, permitting and compliance, strategy development and implementation, community and stakeholder engagement, risk assessment and community health, digital solutions, and more.
