Our environmental and social impact/post-impact assessment services cut across the evaluation and management of potential or actual environmental and social impacts resulting from a wide range of human activities, such as construction, mining, oil and gas exploration, and transportation. Our assessments include:
- Air quality and greenhouse gas emissions
- Water quality and availability
- Soil and sediment quality
- Habitat and biodiversity
- Noise and vibration
- Visual and cultural resources
- Human health and safety
- Community and social impacts
- Socio-economic impacts
- Indigenous peoples and traditional land use
The goal of our environmental and social impact assessments is to provide information that can be used to identify potential environmental and social risks, assess the severity of those risks, and develop strategies to mitigate those risks.
Our post-impact assessments typically involve the evaluation of the actual environmental and social impacts of the project, and may include:
- Monitoring and reporting on environmental and social conditions before, during, and after the project
- Assessing the effectiveness of mitigation measures implemented during the project
- Developing and implementing remediation plans to address any adverse environmental and social impacts resulting from the project
- Providing guidance on future environmental and social management practices to prevent or mitigate environmental and social impacts from similar projects.
By providing information on potential and actual environmental and social impacts, we help decision-makers to balance economic development with environmental and social protection.
