Early decisions shape the project's relationship with host communities, planning authorities, and future funders. ESG screening at feasibility stage identifies fatal flaws and local opportunities before significant capital is committed. We support sponsors and developers with:

- Initial ESG screening and fatal flaw identification

- Stakeholder mapping, analysis, and engagement strategy development

- Political and regulatory landscape analysis

- Identification of local social opportunities and community value-creation pathways

- Project vision and social value narrative development

- High-level ESG strategy aligned to target investor type and applicable standards

Environmental and social impact assessment quality determines permitting timelines, financing conditions, and operational risk exposure over the full asset life. We scope, procure, manage, and quality-assure ESIAs on behalf of developers, thus ensuring outcomes are integrated into project design rather than treated as a compliance document. Our support includes:

- ESIA / EIA scoping and Terms of Reference development or assessment

- ESIA consultant procurement and contract management

- Draft review and quality assurance against international standards

- Integration of Environmental and Social Management Plans into project design

- Resettlement action planning and livelihood restoration strategy

- Grievance mechanism design

- Government and regulatory engagement support

- Stakeholder engagement planning and community consultation delivery

Bids demonstrating robust ESG foundations improve win rates, expand access to financing, and reduce post-award risk exposure. For public-sector, development bank, and institutionally-financed infrastructure, ESG credentials are increasingly decisive. We support bidders with:

- ESG materiality assessment specific to the project and tender requirements

- Coherent presentation of ESG foundations across proposal documentation

- Supplier due diligence and ESG assessment of tenders received

- Investor and lender ESG requirements alignment (IFC PS, EBRD ESRs, EIB, Equator Principles)

- ESG components of contracting and subcontracting strategy
