Environmental & Social Impact Assessment Services
Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) has become a critical tool to identify project risks that can lead to costly project delays. Seismic Associates Ltd. ESIA teams are at the forefront of understanding both local and international standards, whilst considering the Equator Principles of the International Finance Corporation.
ESIA is a comprehensive, concept-to-completion approach that involves all stakeholders from the start, relies upon sound science at every stage and works to achieve sustainable development throughout a project’s lifecycle.
We have found that this approach builds positive stakeholder relationships, identifies and solves problems early on, effectively manages risks, avoids costly scheduling delays and, ultimately, identifies those social license items that require change in order to operate.
