CDG Environmental Advisors was founded in 2000, with the goal of providing the Costa Rican market with the advantages of a dynamic and flexible organizational structure, perfectly adaptable to suit the individual needs of each of our clients.

CDG Environmental Advisors was created to fill a void in the Costa Rican professional sector and develop a company with the capabilities to confront the country’s environmental problems by proposing practical, efficient and cost-effective corrective measures.

CDG Environmental Advisors is a consulting firm specialized in the field of Corporate Environmental and Social Responsibility. The ability to integrate these components is what makes CDG Environmental Advisors unique in Costa Rica, a company with an outlook geared towards the future by providing solutions based on the present.

Why CDG Environmental Advisors?

CDG Environmental Advisors has a vast trajectory in the field of environmental consulting and the development of natural resource-based projects. The company has worked on more than 100 projects of significant importance in Costa Rica’s infrastructure, residential, commercial, tourism and agro-industrial development sectors.

Unlike other environmental consultants, CDG Environmental Advisors provides only the highest-level professionals (all with graduate studies in their field of expertise and properly enrolled in the corresponding Professional Colleges) in several scientific disciplines.

All associated professionals have ample experience in environmental projects and are familiar with the working methodology of the public institutions in charge of awarding licenses and permits for environmental and land-use planning activities.

The clients are therefore guaranteed to have access to the most qualified personnel in whatever field of study they require, be it management systems under international norms (IS0 9000, ISO 14000, OHSAS 18000), or environmental performance support for projects of different natures, among others: agro-industrial, geological, hydrological, socioeconomic and cultural, forestry, industrial ecology, and occupational health and safety.

Globalization and Multi-cultural Dynamics

CDG Environmental Advisors provides its clients with the benefits and experience of working in a vast array of cultural scenarios, at both national and international levels. Understanding customers’ needs and the specific sensibilities of different regions are key elements to the success of its projects.

The ability to work in four different languages gives CDG Environmental Advisors the unique capacity to undertake international projects, having worked in Panama, Guatemala, Chile, the Netherlands, Brazil, Ecuador, Switzerland and the United States, in addition to the numerous projects developed nationally. Moreover, CDG Environmental Advisors possesses the social and cultural awareness necessary to incorporate these components into its work, guaranteeing a harmonious relationship between the client and all project stakeholders.

Relationship with government institutions

CDG Environmental Advisors offers extensive experience in working with public entities, ensuring expeditious and transparent permit processes, and providing the ability to mediate and conciliate the objectives of our clients with those of the government.

A constant line of communication with key institutional personnel, the quality and depth of presented documentation, and an excellent reputation among the public sector, guarantee that projects represented by CDG Environmental Advisors are reviewed promptly and fairly.
