Leading data and analysis for environmental decision making
Green Analytics is a Canadian environmental consultancy. Founded in 2011, 100% Canadian and employee owned, we leverage data, analytics and economic method to address environmental challenges.
Our mission
Specializing in the economic dimensions of people and the planet
Environmental decisions are economic decisions. Whether a wetland is protected, a grassland stays in native cover, or a technology reaches a carbon market usually comes down to whether someone could put a defensible number beside it.
We inventory and assess natural assets, we value the services they provide, we model the spatial systems they sit in, and we assess the life cycle impact of the products and processes acting on them. Then we hand it over in a form our clients can use and maintain.
Canadian and employee owned
Founded in 2011 and owned and operated by Amy Taylor (M.R.M.) and Mike Kennedy (PhD), leading a professional network of talented individuals. No external owner sets our conclusions.
Unparalleled expertise
Our team includes professional economists, environmental scientists, life cycle analysts, GIS technicians and computer programmers — most engagements draw on several at once.
Collaborative network
We maintain a network of specialists across the social and physical sciences, geographic information systems, air quality management and energy royalties, and bring them in where depth is required.
The people
A small senior team
Economists, scientists and geospatial specialists working across Canada.
How we work
Senior-led, scoped tightly, delivered on the date
Every engagement has a named senior lead who stays on the file. We scope to a fixed set of deliverables and milestone dates, and we surface interim findings before the final report rather than after it.
Models, dashboards and documentation are built to be handed over. If your staff cannot re-run the analysis next year, we have not finished the job.
Working with First Nations
Integrity, OCAP® and UNDRIP — put into practice on every project
Green Analytics works with First Nations across Canada to inventory, value and manage the natural assets in their territories. We follow the First Nations principles of OCAP® — Ownership, Control, Access and Possession — and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and we build them into how each project is scoped, delivered and handed over.
The Nation owns its data, decides who sees it, and holds the dashboards and models when we are done.
