The Work of Five E's Unlimited

Five E's Unlimited is a consulting business that specializes in Sustainable Development. To us sustainable development implies the ability of humans to harmoniously coexist in a manner that maintains wildlife, wildlands, decent environments, social equality, and economic well-being today and for future generations.

We decode and de-mystify information needed by communities and governments to move forward with projects and programs intended to achieve economic prosperity and improved social well-being that are compatible with natural environmental systems. We also work closely with scientific organizations, industry, and academia on the technical side of sustainable development.

Five E's national and international leadership in developing research, management, strategic planning, education, and policy recommendations toward achieving sound economic development and natural resource conservation goals has assisted governments, corporations, academic institutions, communities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) for more than 8 years.

By linking science, conservation, and socio-economic improvement programs on a global basis, we are able to direct projects in

• formal and informal sustainability education,
• regional comprehensive land-use planning,
• integrated watershed research and preservation,
• adaptive coastal resource management,
• sustainable economic development,
• environmental and habitat protection,
• environmental conflict resolution/mediation,
• rural systems improvement,
• conservation-based development,
• smart urban revitalization,
• sustainable community development,
• green building design,
• neighborhood adoption of sustainable lifestyles,
• critical policy formulation, and
• regional public outreach.

Using a number of proven methods, we can uniquely serve your needs for achieving sound sustainable development awareness, understanding, and action because we partner with a diverse group of Affiliated Consultants able to work in many different areas. When requested, Five E's works with groups and organizations as a catalyst in assisting to improve human well-being without degrading environmental health.

We roll up our sleeves and work to encourage collaborative relationships among ecologic, economic, and social equity interests, while assisting clients to think broadly across disciplines and boundaries.

We work hand-in-hand with clients to facilitate understanding of how one practice affects another and how one resource affects another.

The Firm assists regions in creating authentic choices for future development through cross-disciplinary inquiry and consensus-building.

We help clients to seek common-ground solutions to their problems by articulating and clarifying crucial controversies and identifying strategies to advance their sustainable development objectives.

We also encourage looking beyond solving problems one at a time, to a position where clients envision the development of communities, organizations, and systems that prevent problems from occurring in the first place.

Five E's cares deeply about advancing people's personal efforts at sustainable development world-wide. Because of this commitment, we will give you more than anybody else can in the way of services.

For example, our typical approach to client work is to immerse ourselves into the communities that we serve as clients by spending significant blocks of time on-site. In this way we more effectively familiarize ourselves with circumstances, get to know the different stakeholders, and discover first hand what will work and what won't. Without full understanding of all the local circumstances and desires, we firmly believe we will not be able to effectively and efficiently serve a clients needs. Thus, we literally become a part of a community's fabric for the duration of our work.

One of the things that is unique about our client services in the area of sustainable development, is that we consider ourselves Virtual Assistants. By being virtual assistants to your group in providing client services, we can consistently interact via electronic communications and solve many of your problems in a quick turn-around manner. In providing virtual assistant services we can respond immediately to our client needs without the limitation of distance between your office and ours.
