We undertake an extensive mapping of the environmental and social risks as per national/international requirements prior to the acquisition of a project. These translate into a comprehensive Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP) and Environment & Social Management System (ESMS) for implementation in post-acquisition phase.
ESMS covers among other aspects: compliance with local laws; resource efficiency and adherence to good international practices; occupational health and safety for employees and contract workers; equal opportunity and non-discrimination; addressing impacts on affected communities; and assessing and managing adverse environmental and social impact due to the intended project.
