Pantaies

PantaiES is a SEAcoop STP spin-off (seacoop.com). It’s a small business consultancy company (25 consultants) specialized in cultural, biodiversity, forestry and agricultural ecosystem services (ES). We help public bodies and private organizations to value natural capital and ES. We plan natural capital assessment showing how, from the baseline situation, it’s possible to reach different scenarios of natural capital enhancement. We can provide a specific consultancy in the governance of natural capital due to the formalized partnership with Economy and Sociology departments of University of Torino. A branch of the company is specialized in natural capital and ES monitoring. We are interested in promoting best practice in natural capital and ES assessment. We would like to promote the introduction of the NC Protocol in business assessment of our clients and integrate it also in other usual environmental assessment (LCA). PantaiES manage a voluntary “ecosystem services bank” useful for who wants to off-set some defined impacts. We are trying to develop a new business approach in a country, Italy, where this kind of approach is unordinary and we think that we can do this more effectively as part of the Natural Capital Coalition.
