About GeoJustice™
GeoJustice™ was founded to help organizations better understand—and act on—the relationship between environment, health, and community.
At its core, GeoJustice™ operates at the intersection of data, mapping, and environmental justice, translating complex information into clear, actionable insight that supports real-world decisions.
What We Do
GeoJustice™ works with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, institutions, and private sector partners to evaluate how environmental burdens and opportunities are distributed across communities—and what that means for policy, planning, and investment.
Through geospatial analysis, publicly available datasets, and narrative storytelling, GeoJustice™ helps clients move from data to insight—and from insight to action.
Our Approach
GeoJustice™ bridges cumulative impact analysis with cumulative impact solutions.
This work goes beyond identifying where inequities exist. It focuses on helping decision-makers understand how environmental, health, and infrastructure conditions intersect—and where and how to intervene to support more equitable, place-based outcomes.
Data. Mapping. Storytelling.
Together, these elements form the foundation of GeoJustice™’s approach to turning information into impact.
Selected Work
GeoJustice™ is actively developing applied analyses that demonstrate how environmental justice can be integrated into emerging policy and investment decisions.

Leadership
GeoJustice™ is led by Matthew T. Lee, an environmental justice and geospatial policy professional with nearly two decades of experience at the intersection of federal policy, applied mapping, and data-driven decision-making.
Matthew spent over 17 years at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, where he helped lead the development and application of environmental justice screening and mapping tools and trained more than 10,000 stakeholders across government and non-governmental organizations.
His experience also includes advising industry on the application of environmental justice data in operational and siting decisions, including work supporting the integration of EJScreen into analyses of transportation and facility impacts.
In addition, Matthew has contributed to emerging industry standards at the intersection of climate, environmental justice, and data-driven analysis through ASTM International, helping shape how organizations evaluate environmental and community impacts.
He currently serves as a Lecturer in the Master of Environmental Studies program at the University of Pennsylvania and as Compliance Officer for a $50+ million EPA-funded grant portfolio supporting more than 200 community-driven environmental and public health projects.
His work is grounded in the belief that data can serve as a tool for equity—when it is made accessible, transparent, and actionable.
