Planning & Assessment
We help public and private sector clients understand and mitigate the potential environmental and social impacts of their infrastructure projects and investment that require them to comply with policies and standards of both international financial institutions and the countries in which the projects are to be developed.
Our comprehensive understanding of the intricacies of local and international practices, combined with our clear perception of client objectives enable the straightforward negotiation of and compliance to often opaque and unfamiliar regulatory structures.
ESC provides Environmental, Social, Health and Economic Impact Assessments, permits and compliance services for country-specific and international requirements such as the Equator Principles and IFC Performance Standards.
We have strong and successful professional relationships with regulatory authorities, extensive and up-to-date knowledge of each specific country’s legislative frameworks as well as their underpinning objectives.
Our expertise enables us to bring clarity to your projects and guide you to your desired goals so you can secure timely approvals, maximize the bankability and minimise the environmental and social risks of new projects and developments.
