About Environmental Management Consultants Inc. (EMC)

Who We Are

Environmental Management Consultants Inc. (EMC) is a leading provider of environmental and sustainability services in Guyana, with a proven track record of over 20 years. Established in 2005 and formally incorporated in 2020, EMC was founded by Mr. Shyam Nokta to respond to the growing demand for professional, independent expertise in environmental management and associated services.

Since then, EMC has grown into one of Guyana’s premier environmental consulting firms, trusted by Government, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Multilateral Agencies, and the Private Sector. Our strength lies in our diverse team of national, regional, and international specialists who bring technical excellence, practical solutions, and a deep understanding of Guyana’s unique environmental landscape.

We deliver a wide range of services, including:

  • Environmental & Social Impact Assessments (ESIAs) – guiding projects through the assessment process to ensure compliance with national legislation and international standards.
  • Environmental & Biodiversity Management Plans – designing strategies to safeguard ecosystems and support long-term management.
  • Environmental Monitoring, Auditing & Compliance Support – ensuring projects meet regulatory obligations and best practices throughout their lifecycle.
  • Biodiversity Assessments & Monitoring – applying scientific expertise to understand, protect, and manage Guyana’s rich biodiversity.
  • Feasibility Studies, Sector Planning & Programme Reviews – delivering evidence-based insights that align with both national priorities and international requirements.
