Who We Are – How We Are Different – Why You Should Be Part of What We Do

Comprised of major multi-national companies in a wide range of sectors, the Ad-Hoc Industry Natural Resource Management Group ("Group" for short), now in its 37th year, is singularly focused on the interface between Natural Resources and diverse industrial, energy, and transportation activities.

By “natural resources”, we mean air, water, land, species. By “activities”, we mean the full gamut of natural resource issues that can arise for companies in diverse sectors from preventive action to liability containment to resource restoration, conservation and optimization to biodiversity and sustainability.

We do not duplicate any other group.

Natural Resource Law and Policy Produces Opportunities

Natural Resources law, policy and practice in the US and worldwide is being transformed. Never before have there been so many ways to pursue innovative and collaborative solutions, enabling companies to address corporate-specific as well as societal-driven needs and very often partnering with others in doing so. Today, the increasing need to incorporate nature, sustainability and climate considerations requires companies to think creatively and proactively about how to manage these issues - and their operations - as the new way of doing business.

Our Member Companies are Ahead of the Game

The Group supports its companies, works to advance the state of the art and build a sound practice arena and collaborates with others, as appropriate, to meet common needs or objectives. The Group continues to partner with all the entities shown in this poster HERE in bringing lawyers, scientists, economists and others together from private and public sectors to discuss - in real time - the influences, needs and perspectives attendant to natural resource policies and practice and associated opportunities.
