Environmental & Social Impact Assessment

SLR supports a wide range of local, regional and international clients with Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) and Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) services across energy, mining, infrastructure, industry, and built environment sectors.

Overview

We work closely with project teams to identify potential environmental and social risks, and develop inclusive, responsive and pragmatic strategies that avoid, mitigate and/or offset significant impacts and risks.

We operate as one team and service clients from our Asia Pacific offices and draw upon the expertise of our global colleagues. This global reach provides our team with an in-depth understanding of the broader ESG issues that are becoming increasingly important as our clients strive to develop and operate projects that meet the needs of all stakeholders including investors, lenders regulators, non-government organisations (NGOs), communities and employees.

Environmental & Social Impact Assessment Services

We believe that our ability to merge technical and regulatory knowledge with extensive practical experience sets us apart from other consultants. In addition to the legislation, guidelines and policies at a country level, our team frequently works with the frameworks adopted by international funding institutions such as World Bank and International Finance Corporation. With this knowledge and experience our team supports clients to achieve technical optimisation, regulatory approval, international funding, value adding environmental social and governance (ESG) performance, and social license to operate.
