Regulatory Policy Design & Analysis Services
Over the years, we have worked with all levels of government domestically and internationally and with corporations large and small to develop policies and plans that have resulted in innovative, effective and sustainable emission reduction programs. From helping governments design effective climate change regulation to assisting large final emitters make sense of proposed climate change legislation, our experience, heritage and reputation in this field is second to none.
At Delphi, we have extensive experience in helping governments, regulatory bodies and inter-governmental agencies both design effective climate change policies and regulation and improve the effectiveness of existing policies, programs and regulation.
From the evaluation of climate change policies and programs in Canada, the U.S. and Europe to the design of climate change policy in Asia and Central and South America, we have contributed to some of the world’s most visible and innovative climate change programs.

Our 20-year history of helping governments and regulators design climate change policy is unrivalled and unique. This experience also means we have a significant advantage when helping corporate clients understand emerging government policy and develop strategies in response to climate change regulation.
Our thorough knowledge helps companies better understand government intentions, initiatives and policies so they can plan and implement effective strategies that go beyond compliance and create opportunities to reduce risk, increase productivity and enhance their reputation as a leader in their industry.
With existing cap-and-trade schemes in some North American jurisdictions and impending schemes planned for virtually all states and provinces on the continent, the regulatory landscape in North America is complex and evolving.
