Impact Assessment
At Eco & Partner Consult, we understand that an Impact Assessment is much more than just a technical document. It leads to the development of often legally binding commitments based on and enshrined in the management plan. These are living documents that develop over the life of the project and often independently monitored. In this way, it is a developer’s technical environmental and social assessment of a project and key element of corporate social responsibility ultimately, of a company’s license to operate.
Eco & Partner has extensive experience in the design and production of Impact Assessments and Management Plans for both international, local and international projects such as in the oil and gas sector, mining, hydroelectric, agriculture and tourism, manufacturing, transport, ICT, forestry, industrial development and urban planning, among others.
