We lead Environmental and Social Impact Assessments in compliance with national regulatory requirements and international financial institution standards, evaluating project impacts against the environmental and social performance criteria of the IFC, AfDB and World Bank. We also help clients strengthen their environmental, social and governance performance by establishing management systems aligned with international best practice.

Our multidisciplinary team combines technical expertise with regional insight. We help organisations navigate complex regulatory frameworks, manage environmental and social risks and embed sustainable practices throughout the project lifecycle.
