Unlike other firms, ETC uses a mixture of two disciplines - science and communications - to set itself apart. Our staff is a blend of seasoned environmental scientists, public relations experts, communication artists and engineers who team up with clients to fill EH&S information gaps. At ETC, we quickly grasp the technical roots of an issue, and tailor communications for the public that are technically sound yet easy to understand. Our methods and strategies work with fence-line neighbors, community groups, news media, local officials, the general public, employees and other stakeholders.
