Sustainability implies a need and obligation to carefully consider the future in making decisions, an intrinsically difficult task for any organization. To help customers make better and more informed decisions that may affect the organization's future success, prospects, and impacts on society, GeoTrans offers a variety of services to help identify and analyze potential future environmentally and/or socially related events, conditions, and trends and their prospective impacts on the customer's mission, effectiveness, risks, and competitive posture. We also help our customers formulate strategies designed to improve their state of readiness, limit liabilities, and/or capture opportunities. By using appropriate futures analysis techniques such as scanning, scenario planning, and gaming, our customers can reap the following benefits:

• Greater understanding of relationships among mission and business objectives and environmental/social equity issues
• An improved basis for organizational, investment, and staffing decisions
• Enhanced agility and competitive strength
• Greater employee ownership of environmental/sustainability issues and programs
• Shared vision of the future and the organization's place within it
