Environmental Incentives got its start as a small business consulting firm, working to improve the way public funds were being spent on efforts to address the decline in Lake Tahoe’s famous clarity in 2004. Today, we have grown to operate four offices across the U.S. and to support field staff in multiple countries. We partner with program managers and funders to improve their effectiveness in biodiversity programming, habitat conservation, stormwater management, and water, sanitation, and hygiene services.
Environmental Incentives became a Certified B Corporation in 2018. B Corps are for-profit companies that use the power of business to solve social and environmental problems. We have evaluated how our practices affect our employees, our community, and the environment, and we are certified to meet rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. We are proud to join more than 2,000 Certified B Corps around the globe that are working to use business as a force for good. Learn more about our road to B Corp Certification.
We are a GSA Professional Services Schedule (PSS) contract holder, under special items numbers: Environmental Consulting Services (SIN) 899-1 and Integrated Consulting Services (SIN) 874-1.
