Environmental Cost Management: Cost Allocation

Gradient allocates environmental response costs among multiple responsible parties - for companies, groups, or as neutrals. Gradient's strong environmental and forensic skills, detailed knowledge of industrial history, and the numerous approaches to allocation combined with clear and compelling communication skills are instrumental.

We have used typical economic applications of cost causation, such as Stand Alone Cost Analysis, and we have developed some of our own models, such as "Risk-Weighted Mass" as the basis for allocation. Our experience has taught us that every case is specific and there are no "one size fits all" strategies. Our solutions make sense to all the parties.
