Testimonials

Peter was almost always accessible to meet our needs, even when he had other obligations with his time. He made us feel as if ours was the only project he was working on.

Peter Soyka, and other team members, were wonderful to work with and produced a great product.

Peter also performed an initial analysis of our overall environmental programs, and with little guiding direction, he was able to synthesize great amounts of information into several meaningful documents. These documents still help our organization better understand how environmental management fits into our business process.

Peter Soyka was able to produce a number of very thought-provoking questions that allowed our organization to examine certain environmental issues that we had not confronted. Peter came into the project very knowledgeable about the subject of Environmental Management Systems (EMS), and he was able to use this knowledge to help us create the framework that we will be using in this program.

Peter Soyka is incredibly bright, a quick learner, and very diligent with deep level of understanding about the subject matter that [we] asked him to work on. He is very customer oriented and was a pleasure to work with. He was able to reduce vast amounts of information into an understandable, clear presentation in a very short period of time.
