<h2>Market Overview</h2>
Environmental consulting services encompass a broad spectrum of professional advisory aimed at helping public and private sector clients manage their ecological impact. This includes <strong>environmental impact assessments (EIA)</strong>, remediation of contaminated sites, sustainability strategy development, and <strong>ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)</strong> reporting.

Some niche segments, particularly <strong>Sustainability and ESG Consulting</strong>, are expected to see even higher growth rates exceeding <strong>15%</strong> annually as mandatory disclosure rules take effect in the EU and North America.
