Hatch Releases Climate Change Statement

In conjunction with the United Nations conference on climate change (COP21) in Paris, Hatch has issued a statement outlining the company’s position on climate change. Hatch will participate in discussions on climate change at COP21 from December 6–9, 2015.

In the statement, Hatch reaffirms that climate change is a reality that affects every community and organization globally. As a global engineering and consultancy firm, Hatch aims to make a positive, sustainable difference in reducing the effects of climate change by building smarter solutions to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, resilient infrastructure, and creating meaningful partnerships.

The statement details actionable items including: developing innovative technologies to support cleaner energy production; supporting sustainable cities; implementing carbon pricing and measurement tools; and providing safe and resilient engineering design to clients.

John Pearson, Hatch’s Global Energy Director adds, “We want to do our part to reduce the effects of climate change and drive a low carbon future in the energy sector.  We are focusing our expertise on harnessing power sources and emerging technologies to meet the energy needs of the future in a smarter and more sustainable way.”

Joseph Kuhach is the CEO of Nsolv and will also attend COP21. Hatch is a founding partner and proud supporter of Nsolv, a Canadian clean-tech energy company devoted to solving the operational and environmental problems of heavy oil extraction.  Nsolv's warm solvent technology for in-situ projects reduces the environmental impacts of heavy oil extraction by eliminating water consumption and lowering energy inputs, resulting in a three quarters reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
