What Eocene Environmental Group does

Eocene Environmental Group, Inc. is a privately held, 100% employee-owned (ESOP) environmental services firm formed in 2024 by integrating four Wright Service Corp. entities into a single operating company headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa. The firm operates four divisions — Forestry & Utility, Environmental, Technology & Innovation, and Sustainability — and serves electric utilities, municipalities, agricultural operations and food supply chains, pipeline and energy infrastructure developers, railroads, and telecommunications providers across North America with a workforce of 600+ across 40+ degree specialties.

Its core technology assets are two proprietary, trademarked software platforms. FieldNote is a geospatial data collection and inspection platform used in utility vegetation management, supporting forms, asset mapping, GIS integration (Esri ArcGIS), crew productivity tracking, routing, and reporting; it is licensed on a multi-year, per-deployment basis (e.g., 56 licenses at NV Energy, 200+ at LUMA Energy). EcoPractices is a sustainability data collection, verification, modeling, and ESG reporting platform with supporting offerings including SCIP, R3 ROI Tool, Greenhouse Gas Assessment Reports, Product Life Cycle Accounting, and a Data Service API for GHG and nutrient offset markets. Field-based services include NEPA/CEQA documentation, biological/cultural resource surveys, wetland delineation, compliance inspection, drone/UAS survey, and brownfields redevelopment.

Eocene's revenue model combines project-based professional services (the dominant stream) with recurring software licensing for FieldNote and data-monetized sustainability services via EcoPractices. GTM is enterprise field sales with account-based engagement, supported by content marketing, an annual FieldNote Users Group Conference, and direct inquiry channels. Pricing is custom and quote-based, structured around multi-year contracts. The company has 296 clients, has reviewed 10,000+ miles of utility lines since 2009, completed 1,000+ desktop environmental reviews annually for a major transmission client, and received the 2023 EPA Phoenix Award for brownfields work.
