n todays business and political climate, KBC helps clients

negotiate some of the complex external pressures on their
business, which can create uncertainties and impact proft-
ability. These factors include energy cost pressures, green-
house gas emissions and climate change, the need for ultra-
clean fuels, government mandates for utilisation of biofuels
in product formulations, differentiation of product quality
in consumer marketing, energy security, heightened con-
sumer awareness of environmental issues, and government
energy and environmental policies.
As part of the KBC Health, Safety, and Environmental
product line, our Environmental Service offerings provide
both technical support for existing facilities and strategic
consulting for future investment planning whether for an
existing or potential facility or expansion or anticipation of
the future regulatory landscape. KBC also provides strategic
advice on future environmental liabilities as a part of wider
techno-commercial due diligence services associated with
purchasing an existing facility.
METHODOLOGY
KBC employs a structured Environmental Improvement
Methodology, which is implemented step-wise, in phases:
1. Clarity Reviewing a site- or client-specifc base case,
incorporating current operations, sources of emissions,
an understanding of industry competitive trends and the
local and international regulatory environment
2. Understanding Identifying the costs of compliance
and potential positive opportunities for reducing energy
demand, in public relations, in government negotiations
and in product marketing differentiation through a Gap
analysis
3. Options Screening, assessment and prioritisation of
possibilities to achieve compliance
4. Strategic RoadMap Selecting the optimum combi-
nation of investment and non-investment projects, yielding
the highest net return-on-investment (ROI), while meeting
regulatory requirements
5. Implementation Assisting clients with the develop-
ment and implementation of their selected project Road-
Map
6. Monitoring Implementing Best Practice methods of
measurement and management reporting of the impact
of the program, including software tools
Throughout this process, we maintain a close partnership
with our clients to ensure that any incremental investment in
environmental compliance has a clearly defned business
case and, wherever possible, yields a net positive return-on-
investment. The unique KBC simulation tool-kit, combined
with our extensive expertise in facility operations, enables
our clients to develop a knowledge and understanding of
the linkage between changes in key environmental param-
eters and plant-wide commercial performance.
