  "CLFV provided a much-needed calming voice. Their credibility was a real asset." - Roger Sant, Former Chairman, AES Corporation
Close Responsibly

Site closure can be a risky business, especially when past, present, and future site owners have environmental liabilities to contend with. The type of site, the site owner, affected stakeholders, and potential end-use options all present challenges that can impede project success if handled incorrectly. However, if managed effectively and responsibly, project risk is reduced and site closure is no longer an obstacle - it's an opportunity.

OUR ROLE
CLF Ventures help clients conduct responsible site closure. We draw on a wide range of skills and experience to support our clients during all stages of site closure. Our approach reduces project risks and costs, and improves relationships with stakeholders. We design and implement graceful exit strategies.

Closure Process Risk Management
CLF Ventures helps clients manage the complex challenges of surplus asset disposition. We work closely with clients to formally identify internal business objectives, survey key stakeholders from a regulatory and community perspective, and develop a series of closure scenarios that optimize the balance between corporate risk exposure, return on investment and long-term stakeholder relations.
Our approach systematically reduces project risks, builds a positive relationship between our clients and their key stakeholders, and yields enhanced and environmentally leveraged asset value.

Post-Closure Strategies
An effective and transparent site closure process reduces project risks, providing a fertile ground for beneficial post-closure site uses. We leverage our unique skills in strategic outreach and consensus building with our long-standing reputation for environmental protection to lay a foundation that maximizes post-closure opportunities. Our approach produces re-use options that are sustainable from an economic, regulatory, environmental and community perspective.


OUR VALUE
CLF Ventures is a unique organization that inhabits the intersection of business, stakeholder and environmental matters. Our distinct value to our clients is two-fold:
We acquire valuable stakeholder insights that are often impossible for our client to collect on their own.
We develop and implement innovative solutions to our clients' challenges by effectively blending these insights with our technical, regulatory, and planning skills.

Our approach to site closure systematically reduces project risks, builds a positive relationship between our clients and their key stakeholders, and yields enhanced and environmentally leveraged asset value. And as a result, re-use options emerge that are sustainable from an economic, regulatory, environmental and community perspective.
