Where Does Hatfield Consultants Operate?

Hatfield Consultants operates from three countries: Canada, Indonesia, and Botswana. The company describes itself as Canadian and owner-operated, with its Indonesia and Botswana operations supported by local ownership that takes an active role in corporate and technical leadership. Its work is not limited to those three countries, though — the firm says it provides environmental and social services to private and public sector clients "around the world."

The three operating countries

The site lists these under "Our Offices," with Canada, Indonesia, and Africa shown as the geographic groupings.

Where the work actually happens

The office locations are the anchor, but they are not the full footprint. Two points from Hatfield's own description matter here:

• Western Canada is the core Canadian region. Hatfield describes itself as "one of the leading environmental consultancies in western Canada," providing multidisciplinary environmental and social science services there.
• International project work extends beyond the three countries. The company states it serves clients "in Canada and internationally," and its sector experience page frames this as understanding clients' environmental challenges across a wide range of sectors.

So if you are trying to work out whether Hatfield can take on a project in a given place, the three offices tell you where staff are based, while the "around the world" and "internationally" language tells you where projects have been delivered.

Why the local-ownership structure matters

Hatfield is explicit that its Indonesia and Botswana operations are "supported by local ownership." In practice, that is a signal about how the firm positions its international work: rather than running those regions purely as remote outposts of a Canadian head office, the local entities hold ownership stakes and participate in corporate and technical leadership.

For a client or partner, the practical questions this raises are worth checking directly:

• Which entity would hold your contract — the Canadian parent or a local operation?
• Which office would staff the fieldwork, and does that team include locally based experts?
• Does the local ownership arrangement affect permitting, registration, or local content requirements in your jurisdiction?

Hatfield's site does not spell out contracting structures or legal entity details, so those are questions for a direct enquiry rather than something to infer from the office list.

How to confirm coverage for a specific location

If your interest is a particular country or region, the office list alone will not answer it. A workable approach:

1. Identify the closest operating region — Canada, Indonesia, or Africa (Botswana) — to your project location.
2. Check the service area you need against Hatfield's listed capabilities: water (aquatic ecology, hydrology, hydrogeology, marine resources, water permitting), land (terrestrial and wetland ecology, infrastructure development, forest management, land permitting), people (community health and wellbeing, socio-economics, climate change, Indigenous relations and collaboration), and technology (AI and computer vision, GIS and mapping, remote sensing, data analytics).
3. Ask about prior work in your jurisdiction. The site references a "Where we've worked" section and over 50 years of experience, but does not enumerate every country, so a direct question is the reliable route.

What the site does not tell you

There is no pricing information, no list of every country where projects have been delivered, and no detail on how the Canadian, Indonesian, and Botswana entities divide work commercially. If your decision depends on any of those, treat the office locations as a starting point and confirm the rest with Hatfield directly.
