STELLA was founded in 1993 by two senior environmental and management consulting professionals with more than 30 years of combined experience in international environment and development project management, in particular in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Today, STELLA employs or has access to a select network of over 100 dedicated and qualified professionals with proven experience in environmental science, engineering, technology, law, policy, management, economics, finance, public administration, local development, communications, and training. Building on this vast network, and on our cultural sensitivity and language skills, we help our clients design and implement innovative and cost effective solutions that are adapted to their needs. To serve its clients more effectively, STELLA has established three office locations in Brussels, Belgium; Paris, France; and near Washington, DC, United States.

STELLA works with governments, businesses, and local communities to promote environmental protection and sustainable development around the world. Environmental technologies and policies are only as effective as the institutions and people in charge of implementing them. We bring people and ideas together to develop sound environmental programmes, and we build national and local capabilities to implement such programmes

• Bringing people and ideas together
• Securing project financing and cost recovery to ensure sustainability
• Establishing public-private partnerships to build and operate environmental projects
• Encouraging decentralised cooperation among municipalities and villages
• Capacity building and training
• Identifying cost-effective environmental investments
• Promoting trade and development

In Morocco, STELLA staff has established long-term partnerships among local governments, Non-Governmental Organisations, and industry and has helped them to plan, design, build, and operate a wastewater treatment and reuse plant in Drarga and a chromium recovery facility for tannery effluents in Fez.










In Vietnam, STELLA helped prioritise environmental infrastructure projects in 24 medium-sized urban centres (population between 90,000 and 350,000). STELLA has also helped Romania's Ministry of Environment and Water Management prioritise investments to comply with the implementation of EU environmental directives.
