the cost of doing nothing is higher than you think.

Without a clear EHS strategy, risk becomes reality. You need a plan. We guide you through the chaos so you can lead operations with confidence — whether you're scaling, shorthanded, or stepping into unfamiliar territory.

No surprises. No stress. No costly mistakes.

I’m Linden Terpstra. I help manufacturers build EHS systems that protect your people, Your plant, and your peace of mind.

Clients who work with us maintain high EHS standards while we build the systems and skills they need internally. This means they:

  • Eliminate compliance issues - even during staffing transitions.

  • Create easy-to-use systems that their new hire can take over.

  • Focus resources on high-impact EHS priorities instead of fighting fires.

  • Avoid fines, missed deadlines, and front-page-worthy surprises.

  • Develop internal EHS capabilities to reduce consultant dependency.

How It Works

  • Step 1: Assess + Stabilize

    Thorough EHS assessment and direct leadership involvement to protect operations during staffing gaps.

  • Step 2: Strategy + Systematize

    Create strategic roadmap and build systems that your operations need for long-term EHS success.

  • Step 3: Train + Transfer

    Prepare your team and build internal skills for effective, independent EHS leadership.

For manufacturing Leaders Who Won't Compromise on risk.

We work best with mid-sized manufacturers where the EHS “team” is often a tiny one (or no one).

Support is ideal if you:

  • Would rather know the risks than be blindsided later.

  • Refuse to let staffing gaps create liabilities.

  • See EHS as operational protection, not just compliance.

  • Value building capability over just filling empty seats.

What Clients Are Saying

  • Director of Operations, Soybean Processing

    “Linden provided Shell Rock Soy Processing with EHS support while we transitioned leadership in the EHS space. Linden understood the assignment and began adding value immediately. Our risk management not only remained current while we transitioned, but it also improved. Linden’s experience and guidance provided well rounded recommendations that were easily incorporated. She was key in onboarding our new EHS leader.”

  • COO, Renewable Energy

    “I reached out to Linden because our EHS approach wasn’t scaling well. Things had been pieced together over time, and we were at a point where we needed to fix it or risk falling behind. After meeting with Linden, I walked away with a clearer picture of what an EHS program should look like for our business and its current growth plans. The conversation gave me strategic clarity and confidence to start moving in the right direction.”

  • Environmental Manager, Ethanol Production

    “I've had the pleasure of working closely with Linden for the better part of a year, and I can say without hesitation that she is an exceptional professional in the environmental compliance space. As someone who was new to the field with little direct experience when we first started working together, I credit much of my early success to Linden’s guidance, patience, and deep knowledge.”

  • Engineering Leader, Renewable Energy

    “Linden helped us identify and prioritize upcoming EHS-related tasks, with special consideration given to the size or our team and scale of our operations. Overall, Linden was an excellent resource for a company of our size and I can't envision having developed the EHS materials we have today without her help. Linden was a pleasure to work with, and we will gladly contact her for EHS support in the future!”

  • Transition Project Manager, Defense Contractor

    "Linden provided EHS strategy and leadership during our facility transition from Collins Aerospace to BAE Systems. The project gave us clarity on our EHS obligations, eliminated the guesswork around compliance requirements, and established systems that continue to work long-term. Rather than worrying about what we might be missing, we got peace of mind and could focus our energy on core operations.”

  • Director of Operations, Battery Manufacturing

    “Linden was an excellent resource in spearheading the development and roll-out of some of our first fundamental in-house safety training programs. Linden quickly and effectively worked with operations leaders to understand and quantify our highest potential risk areas to bring in-house for training and improve safety, planned a training and certification program, and began rolling out and training individuals in the team, all within a few months!

    I would strongly recommend Linden for safety programs overhaul due to her quick, effective, data-driven work and positive attitude.”

what makes us different

I’ve spent over nearly 15 years navigating the complex world of industrial EHS strategy, from small startups to Fortune 100 giants. My journey began on factory floors and has evolved into transforming EHS from a checkbox to a business strategy.

I’m here to solve real problems and protect real people. With an approach honed through years of hands-on experience, I help organizations cut through noise and focus on what matters for their organization.

I do this work because I believe EHS is a catalyst - not just for compliance, but for operational excellence. I help build environments where safety and performance go hand in hand, costs go down, and teams are empowered to do their best work.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

Whether you need a short-term partner or long-term strategy, we’re here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
