NCS2 LLC was created to extend our expertise and diversity of technical experience in designing natural capital strategies that support our clients in building a bridge between economic generation and environmental protection. These strategies can additionally support but not be limited to the achievement of corporate sustainability and ESG goals, reduction of environmental footprints, enhancement of corporate stewardship reputation, protection of social license, minimization of environmental reserves on a balance sheet, and generation of value for shareholders. Many of the dauting pressures today around climate mitigation, the "just" transition and social equality don't need to be overburdening because there is opportunity to cost effectively and practically meet these challenges head-on through the integration of natural capital, associated ecosystem services and nature-based solutions (NbS). It all begins with an understanding of the natural capital available-whether on a project site or across an entire portfolio of assets.
