For over 30 years we’ve been reducing costs and increasing sustainability for food and beverage producers, industrial manufacturing companies, water and waste utilities, and municipalities through turn-key, beneficial-use waste management solutions. Our solutions help companies attain their zero-landfill goals while reducing waste management costs. And in many cases, our clients turn a profit from their own non-hazardous, organic waste materials.
We strive to find innovative ways to reuse and recycle food processing solid and liquid waste in ways that benefit the environment, meet regulations, and reduce operational costs. We redirect waste from landfills to earth-friendly, beneficial uses: organic land application, composting, manufactured soil, anaerobic digestion, animal feed, fertilizer, energy/fuel production, and alternative raw materials for consumer goods (such as fireplace logs and potting soil).
In 2022, we released 3 new consumer products created from upcycled coffee grounds: JavaEarth Soil Amendment, JavaBrewBQ Premium Grilling Pellets, and JavaFlame Premium Fuel Pellet for home heating use.
Impact Consulting has had experience with conducting project risk assessments, Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) and Integrated Risk Management Framework (IRMF)-based audits and reviews, risk and control assessments, privacy compliance assessments, as well as the provision of other strategic risk advisory services. Our areas of specialization include: Risk-Based Internal Auditing Internal Audit Transformation Risk Identification and Assessments Control Framework Design and Implementation Control Design and Assessments Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Risk Management Internal Audit Quality Assessments Project Management Policy Evaluation, and Advisory Services relating to export and political risk management, insurance, financial sector reforms, program reviews (MAF, RMAF, RBAF, etc.), privacy assessment/ compliance, etc. We are qualified to assist public and private sector clients to meet compliance standards associated with the Management Accountability Framework, the AS/ NZ 4360 and/ or COSO Enterprise Risk Management regimes, federal and provincial privacy legislation, the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles and European and US regulations pertaining to the value chain traceability/ tracking of food products. Impact Consulting also frequently performs reviews of the insurance portfolios maintained by our clients, but notably, this service is only offered to those who have recently had the benefit of a more broadly-based risk management audit (given that insurance, at best, only serves as a partial solution to risk -- after other more significant risk management tools have been applied to the task). Impact Consulting is especially qualified to undertake risk and insurance audits of the export portfolios of Canadian enterprises . We often determine that this is one area where risk and insurance management tools can be employed as a "sword rather than a shield" -- allowing a given firm to leverage additional export sales (without undue risk), bring forward the dates of recognizing ...
Renewable Energy Solutions is a consulting firm located in Calgary, Canada with international expertise in projects, practices and policies involving energy conservation and renewable energy generation. Our mission is to foster the efficient use of hydrocarbon fuels and the utilization of energy harvested from renewable sources, in order to minimize the environmental impact caused by societys consumption of energy. Our company promotes innovative technologies emerging worldwide which reduce environmental emissions by deploying sustainable energy systems. These systems tap power from the sun, the wind, rivers and ocean environments, and capture heat from the sun and the earth as well as heat rejected and wasted from inefficient power generation processes. The companys Founder and President is Ken Hogg, M.Eng., P.Eng. Kens background lies in environmental protection and energy management. Following graduation in Civil Engineering from the University of Manitoba, he worked with the Ontario Ministry of Environment in Toronto, Ontario in various senior management positions in the regulation of pollution sources. During this time he also obtained his Master of Engineering (Environmental) degree from the University of Toronto. Ken worked for eleven years with Metropolitan Toronto as Chief Engineer in charge of landfills, composting and recycling facilities. He was directly involved in the development of the three landfill gas to energy projects in Toronto, namely Keele Valley, Brock West, and Beare landfills with power outputs of 33 MW, 18 MW and 5 MW respectively. In total, the annual Greenhouse Gas reduction achieved by the projects exceeded 2,000,000 tonnes CO2e. The electrical power generated by the projects supplied approximately 56,000 homes. In 2001, Ken moved to Calgary, Alberta and founded Renewable Energy Solutions. Through consulting assignments and educational outreach, Renewable Energy Solutions promotes the utilization of energy efficient devices and the establishment of small decentralized energy projects which harvest renewable energy for heat and power. Ken has lectured at the University of Calgary since 2003 instructing the Renewable Energy Technologies course offered by the Faculty of Continuing Education. Our vision is to give our children an energy future which encompasses not only efficient centralized power plants but also local decentralized energy systems which harvest renewable sources. This transition will not occur overnight. But a sea change is occurring as prices for fossil fuels increase, and the costs of renewable energy technologies drop, thereby empowering individuals to select the means and amount by which they can reduce their energy footprint and environmental emissions. .
