Strategy and organizational consulting
Battelle helps meet the challenges of developing strategies that support and enhance energy business, while actualizing corporate responsibility and enhancing the company's reputation. Battelle's roots in science and technology combined with its knowledge of the energy industry provide clients with valuable assistance in developing management systems to support corporate strategies, measure performance, and revise systems as new issues arise. Our expertise includes environmental health & safety management plans and systems, corporate social responsibility and reputation, leadership and competency development, performance measurement and reporting, climate impact mitigation, sustainable development program design and implementation, organizational change management, business process redesign and strategic planning.
Liability management
Battelle helps companies manage risks and even turn them into assets through its understanding of the energy business and its regulations and trends in the U.S. and overseas. We apply innovative science and technological approaches to provide scientifically credible, cost-efficient results to help companies understand, quantify, and manage environmental risk and liabilities that may have occurred during past operations. Where accidents occur, we use strong scientific evidence to help companies make compensation commensurate with real injuries and damages, and those same techniques help companies develop strategic plans to avoid operational practices that may increase future environmental and safety risks and liabilities. Our technical approach includes environmental forensics, ecological and human health risk assessments, contaminated sediments management, site assessments, remediation management, oil spill and natural resource damage assessment, and risk management.
Information and knowledge management
Battelle helps maximize the accessibility, use, quality, and value of energy data assets through the development of robust web-based, information management systems that focus on data management, audit, use, analysis, spatial visualization, and display. We apply these to help energy companies reap the benefits of the masses of environmental and safety data they collect as part of their operations, even when it resides in multiple contractors' computers in varied formats! Our technical applications include, data management and statistical services, environmental management information systems, greenhouse gas data systems, and remote sensing systems.
Cyber security
We work with the U.S. Department of Energy and other government agencies, as well as industry, to protect the nation's critical infrastructure, including the U.S. electric grid. Our work includes vulnerability assessments, electric power system reliability, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) security and advancing technology integration with real utility operations.
