"At Montrose, our business is the environment, and our mission is to help protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil that feeds us. We believe our continued success remains inextricably tied to how well we take care of our people, our clients, and our communities – through our daily actions and our services, including measuring and improving air quality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, treating contaminated water and soil, and creating resources and energy from agricultural waste. As such, we approach ESG considerations as potential strategic differentiators and stockholder value creators rather than just a set of risk factors to monitor and mitigate. Our approach to ESG is centered on decision-useful data aligned to topics that generate long-term value. In our second annual ESG report, I am proud to share that we are delivering significant impact on ESG topics that are most relevant to Montrose, our clients, our stockholders, our employees, and the broader communities we support."

Professional Experience

Nick has conducted and co-authored multiple Net Environmental Benefit Analyses-Based Comparative Assessments (NEBA-CAs). Recently, he managed $750,000+ revenue-driving projects for domestic and international clients.
