Social assessments

We work within the international environmental and social impact assessment framework at local, national and regional levels. Through detailed research and by tapping into the local knowledge of our associates, we help clients understand the socio-economic context in which they operate, and provide them with an assessment of the potential risks and opportunities they are likely to encounter. Our methodologies include:

• social baseline studies;
• strategic research;
• benchmarking;
• risk and opportunity assessment;
• social impact assessments; and
• human rights risk and impact assessments.
