Peter Arnim Soyka

Peter A. Soyka is an experienced and accomplished sustainability and environmental management consultant and a recognized expert working at the intersection of environment/EHS and finance. He is the founder and President of Soyka & Company, LLC, a small consultancy focused on illuminating and resolving the issues limiting sustainable business success. He founded his firm in 2003, following a highly successful 17 year career, during which he served in executive positions in several national-scale environmental consulting/engineering firms.

With 25 years of environmental management experience, Peter has served a wide variety of corporate, public agency, and nonprofit clients focusing on improved, cost-effective environmental and sustainability performance. Much of his recent work has involved identifying and capturing the financial and other organizational benefits of proactive environmental management and sustainability practices. The diversity of Peter's work and clientele over the years provides him with informed perspective on the range of views held within the corporate/trade association, regulatory, and NGO communities. Accordingly, he has a good sense, from the "front lines," of what the important issues and challenges are, how they can be resolved or managed, what barriers may be encountered, and how they can effectively be overcome. During his career, Peter has successfully designed and executed hundreds of consulting projects, including a number devoted to driving sustainability thinking and practices into client organizations at a strategic level. He has developed a substantial number of new innovations for understanding and acting upon the organizational and financial aspects of corporate sustainability issues, and brings a substantial track record of innovative thinking and success in devising creative solutions to very challenging environmental/business management problems and translating new ideas into approaches, tools, and techniques that produce real results.

Peter resides in the metropolitan Washington, DC area with his wife and daughter and enjoys time spent with family and friends, outdoor recreation, and home improvement, among other activities.
