Environmental consultancy future ?

An interesting article from the Financial Times on whether the economic downturn will take its toll on environmental consulting.

It finds that two factors will be key in answering this question

1) whether environmental consultancy can help companies to save money and improve business performance; and

2) whether the regulatory drivers that inspired the rush to environmental improvements hold firm.

Most affected area ?

“So far, the firms most affected by the financial crisis have been those which were engaged in contaminated land consultancy for the development market”
