STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION - IES identifies, engages, and convenes all appropriate stakeholders early in the project..We bridge communication gaps among business, government, and community stakeholders affected by environmental challenges and initiatives. Too often, well-intended environmental initiatives fail because key stakeholders are not included in the design phase and therefore do not support implementation. To remedy this, IES identifies and involves key stakeholders during a project's design phase to develop outcomes acceptable to all.

WORKSHOPS - IES convenes Stakeholder Workshops throughout our projects. Through the workshops, stakeholders participate in setting the scope of our work, designing strategies for success, encouraging support for the solution, and evaluating every phase of our projects.

COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION - IES forms three committees to oversee and review our projects:

• Steering Committee - The “Board of Directors” for the project guides the project and establishes goals, objectives, and project design.
• Peer Review Committee - Scientific experts review technical documents and publications.
• Stakeholder Advisory Committee - IES convenes stakeholders in workshops to disseminate information and to gather recommendations.
