Consulting

ConsultingRFS was founded as an international Consulting company in 2005, with a vision of a flexible working model that harnesses synergies with a wide range of partners. Leveraging the expertise of the founding Principals, RFS works in collaboration with experts from the Forestry field and other key disciplines, building highly-skilled, customized teams to meet the needs of clients, deploying to any geographic area necessary for projects with a fieldwork component. Desk-based assignments are also performed, including high-level Policy work on global best practices and forest product supply chains.

RFS has successfully established an extensive consulting practice over the last 11 years, with a wide range of clients, ranging from privately-held companies, publicly-traded corporations, and major global certification/registration bodies, to government agencies and NGOs. Consulting engagements take many formats, whether short-term contracts on a Project basis; the establishment of an ongoing Letter of Engagement, under which numerous individual Scopes of Work may be assigned; or a Retainer relationship, to support clients’ needs for various kinds of input in a responsive and flexible manner.

RFS has built and led specialized teams with multi-disciplinary expertise to engage in projects around the world, and RFS Principals have participated in engagements led by our peers.
