Public and private organizations are increasingly under pressure to respond to climate and environmental challenges that affect their core businesses, partners, and customers. ESG—Environmental, Social, and Governance—has entered the mainstream as more businesses recognize the need and respond to market demands for increased transparency and accountability in how their organizations are using energy, minimizing resource depletion, increase workforce diversity and equity, and hold their leadership responsible for risk and stewardship of our planet.

Once the purview of large corporations, midmarket and niche companies now recognize that must proactively address ESG, sustainability, and related climate performance needs across both the supply and value chain while ensuring the company meets emerging regulatory requirements plus consumer and stakeholder expectations.

This is where CASE Consultants International steps in— equipping business leaders with the essential knowledge, strategies, core tactics they need to adapt to changing conditions challenging their resilience. CASE’s experts work across sectors to help decision-makers leverage make informed investments in science and technology, build internal capacity, and rationalize the confluence of climate, environmental, health, social, and other data streams to address ESG compliance and climate impacts in practical, measurable ways.

From inventorying assets to climate assessments to developing adaptation and transition plans to advising on adopting practices that result in more sustainable and profitable operations, CASE works closely with our clients in transportation, healthcare, retail, agribusiness, aquaculture, and other sectors across the value chain to fill gaps and supercharge their organizations for success.

As a woman-owned small business, CASE also brings perspective right sized to address the unique needs of small enterprises and equip them with valuable insights and bespoke solutions to the challenges and requirements they face.

“We help decision-makers justify investments in science and technology that increase business adaptability, improve economic performance, demonstrate social responsibility, and benefit end users,” says Elizabeth J. Tarquin, CEO of CASE Consultants International.

With over a decade’s experience in climate science and research, CASE navigates a path for businesses to meet current environmental demands and anticipate future requirements. CASE also partners with large corporations and government entities to communicate their strategic compliance goals to their supply chains, without disrupting core client base.

Following an agile approach, its foundational methodology involves an initial consultation process where the team engages with clients to assess their specific climate adaptation progress and requirements. This is guided by a structured framework aimed at gaining a precise understanding of the client’s position in the climate adaptation journey. Subsequently, a customized solution is crafted, aligning clients’ climate-conscious initiatives with their business objectives.

CASE draws upon a team of industry-specific specialists with expertise in diverse sectors such as transportation and healthcare. For instance, its team has a comprehensive understanding of intricate aspects of the logistics of railroad and truck systems and its impact of climate on mental and physical well-being. This enables it to address challenges related to the effects of climate-related factors on rail infrastructure.

In a notable instance, CASE collaborated with a prominent engineering firm to create climate change assessments (CCA) for a national rail safety program. It conducted a comprehensive analysis, encompassing the quantification and baseline establishment of prevailing temperature, precipitation, and related environmental factors. Through predictive modeling, they assessed the potential impact of hydrologic and hydro-meteorological events on rail infrastructure.

The outcomes of their work have a direct bearing on the formulation of long-term strategies to guarantee the safety, efficiency, sustainability, and alignment with national and global COP26 objectives of this critical component of infrastructure.

In addition to consulting, CASE extends its operations into events and co-working spaces. It has a dedicated event space known as The Collider, situated in Asheville, North Carolina, where various organizations converge to leverage CASE’s expertise in climate-centric programming.

The firm also hosts programs and workshops covering a wide range of topics and provide attendees with practical approaches they can leverage to build capacity, mitigate climate risks, and address compliance. Each event provides a conducive environment for in-person meetings and facilitates interactions among industry leaders, fostering exchange of ideas and collaborative efforts towards addressing the climate crisis.

Offering expertise to address ESG challenges and creating synergies among diverse stakeholders, CASE Consultants International is the true partner for companies dedicated to tackle climate challenges. CASE forges a sustainable path for future generations, working tirelessly to create a world where environmental harmony and prosperity go hand in hand.
