Interconnected Expertise for Integrated Solutions

Achieving the vision of a net-zero, circular, and nature-positive economy requires a rapid and fundamental transformation in how we produce, consume, and live. This is no easy task. We must reimagine key systems such as food, energy, mobility, and buildings, which drive environmental and climate pressures.

At Pathway Consulting, we bring expertise across interconnected areas to support this transformation, reflecting the complexity of the challenges and opportunities at the intersection of environmental and economic governance. This approach enables us to develop integrated solutions that address barriers to change and drive coherence, ensuring tangible and impactful outcomes.

Circular Economy

The case for a transition to a circular economy is strong:  Resource extraction and processing are responsible for more than 90% of global biodiversity loss and more than half of all greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity and a growing world population require that we find new ways of production and consumption, taking into account the ecological boundaries of our planet. The circular economy offers a powerful framework for this. We support you with the implementation of circular economy strategies and projects. Find out about opportunities to engage in circular economy action, projects  and initiatives and benefit from our extensive experience in circular economy related laws and policies.

Biodiversity

Biodiversity and functioning ecosystems secure the very foundation of our economy and well-being. Growing concern about the loss of biodiversity and the risks this entails has accelerated actions to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. 

When it comes to biodiversity action, many organisations are motivated to „do something“ but don’t know where to start. We help you devise a path forward and define the most important target areas for your organisation.

Explore opportunities to engage in biodiversity action, projects  and initiatives and benefit from our extensive experience in biodiversity related laws and policies.

Antitrust & Competition

Antitrust & Competition policies play a critical role in enabling market dynamics that drive the transition to a circular, nature-positive economy. Fair competition ensures that sustainable businesses can thrive, and new models, like circular supply chains or biodiversity credits, can take root and scale effectively.

We work to ensure that antitrust and competition policies encourage practices that align with the principles of circularity and nature-positivity. By addressing barriers to innovation and promoting equitable market access, we enable clients to contribute to systemic transformation.

International Trade & Investment

International trade and investment shape global flows of goods, capital, and ideas. Related polices can act as both powerful barriers or drivers of systemic change. Developments in the area of international trade and investment show that environmental protection is moving from a formal acknowledgement to legal implications. This involves incorporating environmental considerations into trade agreements, setting environmental standards, promoting eco-friendly technologies, and providing incentives for sustainable trade and investment practices.

We help you identify the overlaps, contradictions, and opportunities that lie within this web of international economic policies, empowering you to make informed decisions.

Implementation & Enforcement

Implementation & Enforcement ensures that ambitions turn into action. Robust enforcement mechanisms and effective implementation of laws and policies are essential to maintaining accountability, ensuring compliance, and achieving measurable outcomes on the ground. Tools and policy instruments to ensure environmental accountability and compliance are on the rise. So is environmental litigation. Our expert guidance helps you navigate this fast-evolving area of environmental governance and the complex framework of laws and policies that ensure accountability and compliance.
