Our Philosophy
Our collaborative approach positions each of our clients as a strategic partner that can help a government fulfill its objectives and mandates. This builds strong relationships with policymakers, and delivers solid results for clients wanting to move forward public policy solutions that benefit the environment and the broader public interest.
We place a premium on our depth and breadth of policy expertise, as well as our understanding of the political landscape and the machinery of government. Our commitment to public interest solutions extends to our own business model. At least 2 percent of our gross revenues are donated to non-profit organizations that advance environmental solutions and leadership.
PAST PROJECTS
A diverse portfolio of experience.
We work with many different groups to achieve sustainable policy solutions. Check out some examples of past projects we have led:
Species At Risk
Through monthly meetings with industry and environmental associations, Pivot Strategic developed a series of joint recommendations to strengthen Species At Risk Act and ease the compliance burden.
Low Carbon Fuels
By working in collaboration with heavy industry and the government, Pivot Strategic was able to get a new regulation passed which allows industry to substitute in low-carbon fuels.
Methane Regulation
Pivot Strategic took on one of the largest GHG reduction initiatives in North America. In the end, we helped achieve a continent-wide regulated target of 40-45% methane reduction from the oil & gas sector by 2025.
Policy Development
In the lead up to the 2015 federal election, Pivot Strategic produced a report that included seven concrete policy proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and helped set the stage on climate change with the new government.
Biofuels
Pivot Strategic worked with the Ontario government to provide funding to fuel distributors for high-blend sustainable biofuels. This will incentivize companies to switch their fleets to cleaner-burning fuel.
Other Collaborations
Pivot Strategic Consulting has a long history of facilitating partnerships between industry and NGOs to create initiatives such as the Green Budget Coalition, the Endangered Species Campaign, and strengthening the Canadian Environmental Protection Act.
"Pivot Strategic’s efforts broke a seven-year regulatory logjam. They knew where the strategic leverage points were, as well as who to talk to and how."
