What is EP&P?
Environment, People & Place (EP&P) brings together Hatch’s interdisciplinary expertise to help clients navigate complexity, unlock opportunity, and deliver long-term value. Our teams collaborate across all Hatch sectors, including Energy, Mining, and Metals, and we work across every region where the company operates. We apply an integrated, human-centered approach that strengthens projects, supports communities, and advances sustainability at every stage.
We support a broad range of initiatives, including master-planned developments, major energy transition projects, biodiversity and nature-positive strategies, community partnerships, and climate-resilience planning. EP&P ensures that sustainability, equity, and community well-being are embedded in every decision.
Our integrated approach
Environment, People, and Place Working Together
EP&P combines three interconnected disciplines. These disciplines reinforce one another and create solutions that are holistic, future ready, and grounded in deep technical and community understanding.
Environment
Our environmental teams help clients understand, manage, and improve their environmental performance. We support everything from impact assessments and permitting to climate resilience planning, biodiversity strategies, and environmental management systems. Our work ensures that environmental stewardship is considered at every step of a project.
People
Our People-focused work ensures that communities are meaningfully involved in shaping the projects that affect them. We support Indigenous partnerships, community engagement, socio-economic studies, equity and inclusion strategies, and culturally informed planning. Our approach ensures that people’s experiences, priorities, and values guide both project design and delivery.
Place
Our Place teams help clients create communities and environments that are vibrant, connected, and resilient. We support land use planning, transportation and mobility strategies, transit oriented development, placemaking, master planning, and development strategy. Our work blends technical expertise with human centered design to create places that work for people, economies, and the environment.
