What differentiates EME from its competitors?
1. Solutions
The answer is simple; it is the commitment that our entire staff makes to provide solutions that achieve our clients’ goals and objectives. To that end, EME provides personalized consulting services that get results. We utilize a streamlined management structure that enables EME to offer an experienced, diverse and multi-disciplinary staff that is capable of tackling even the most complicated projects. EME staff has more than 150 years of combined experience managing large industrial and public sector clients and their hazardous waste, environmental and engineering needs. Through our current staffing and our extensive network of associates and teaming partners, our project managers can quickly and cost effectively assemble all of the resources and expertise needed to manage even the largest of projects. In the end, it is the end that we work toward.
2. Technology
Another noteworthy difference is that EME is truly a 21st Century consulting firm. As such, we represent the new wave of technologically empowered consulting firms. Today, not only does our highly experienced staff offer innovative solutions, but we also offer a modern approach to the way we provide our services to you. Our approach exploits the rapid advancement of technology to increase our productivity, accessibility, flexibility and creativity, while reducing needless obstacles to business or infrastructure burdens that commonly plague older and less adaptive consulting firms. A simple example is that EME can provide paperless report products over the internet, on CD-ROMs or DVDs and we can provide paperless electronic invoicing if preferred. Further, EME has equipped our management with the necessary technology to allow them to essentially be mobile offices, if needed. Ultimately, all of these positives combine to produce the single most important positive — they enable EME’s staff to better serve YOU.
3. Education
Finally, a subtle but very important factor lies in EME’s commitment to education. EME’s principals promote our staff, their careers and long-term professional development by focusing on their education. We encourage our professional staff to attend continuing education programs that advance their knowledge and ensure that they remain on the cutting edge of any technological advances. In a rapidly changing world, continuing one’s education after college is more important than ever. It is our belief that those companies that do not invest heavily in this area will be left behind. Moreover and much to the benefit of our clients, by placing such a focus on continuous education, or what many in our industry consider to be an expensive second or third tier employee issue, we create a stable work force that competitively attracts the very top professionals and helps to retain them. Simply put, a consultant is an advisor, a guide and a counselor. A consultant is supposed to be a specialist, an authority and an expert on their subject matter. EME invests to make it so.
How Do We Serve?
EME's experienced staff not only helps our clients work through the regulations, but since they have the respect of both the regulators and the regulated community, EME's staff is often invited to participate in the development of new regulations and initiatives. A few examples include: Tennessee's and Alabama's dry cleaner environmental trust programs and Tennessee's groundwater classification initiative. Being active at this level allows EME to stay current with the issues that interest our clients. We routinely work with local, state and federal regulators throughout the southeast. Here our technical know-how, honesty and integrity earn us respect and credibility with the regulators. Regulators know the veteran EME staff as being technically competent, while they also understand that we are our clients' advocate and that we must be appropriately assertive in representing our clients' interests.
Results are what matter most and that is what really sets us apart from other environmental firms. EME's staff understands the “Regulatory Process,” which allows us to short-cut the red tape and the bureaucracy, where appropriate, and develop expedient, innovative and cost-effective solutions for many types of environmental problems. At EME, we understand the regulatory landscape has changed — risk-based approaches, presumptive remedies, voluntary programs and Brownfield initiatives are all some of the accepted alternatives to the RCRA and CERCLA processes that dominated the 1980s and 1990s. While some describe these alternatives as “innovative”, perhaps they still are to them; at EME our principals already have a relatively long track record in these areas. As a result, we know how best to maneuver your interests through these processes. We start by asking you the simple questions:
- What are YOUR objectives?
- What are YOUR concerns?
- What do YOU consider success?
Then, our actions and recommendations are based on YOUR answers. Our value is in how we listen and then respond to meet YOUR needs. All of these qualities best exemplify the EME–CLIENT–Advantage.
