Environmental Consultant: An environmental consultant is an expert of any profession or field, who focuses their skills and knowledge towards matters that improve the environment. Environmental consultants are typically scientists with expertise in geology, chemistry, physics, and engineering.

Environmental Consultants Working Towards Environmental Sustainability

Environmental consultants generally provide professional services that aim towards humanity reaching 100% environmental sustainability. For instance, sustainable agriculture consultants assist farmers with eco-friendly strategies to create and operate a self-sustaining farm that is harmonious with the environment it is situated within.

Environmental Professional in Environmental Geology

In the environmental geology, engineering, and due diligence fields, the All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI) Rule provides qualifications for any practicing environmental consultant, also known as an environmental professional. And in accordance with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and federal cleanup regulations, these qualifications must be met for any environmental consultant to perform Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments, Phase 2 Environmental Site Assessments, or Transaction Screen Assessments.
