Our experts are certified and experienced in delivering ESIAs in accordance with international requirements (EBRD, IFC, EIB) as often requested for the assessment of investments financed by IFIs. Our team has performed this study for projects in various sectors. This type of assessment covers all relevant direct and indirect environmental, social, health & safety impacts and issues of the project’s operations at all the stages of the project cycle: pre-construction, construction, operation, and decommissioning and closure.
ESDD and HSDD are the systematic studies of the environmental, social and health and safety compliance of an operation with local and/or international standards, and the potential impact of planned changes to that operation. In addition to corporate sustainability benchmarks that are increasingly common, ESDD and HSDD are applicable for mergers & acquisitions, operations modernization / reconstruction, business restructuring, attraction of equity investment / IPO, or applying for IFI funding. For the purposes of EDD, we can provide soil, water and air testing at laboratories in or outside Ukraine.
A Phase I ESA is aimed at the identification of potential environmental risks and liabilities of a specific location (site) that may have resulted from existing or previous land use or the use of territory adjacent to the subject location. A Phase I ESA results in initial conclusions on potential risks to human and/or other receptors and determines whether there is a need for further investigation, and the scope of those investigations (Phase II ESA Exploratory Investigation).
A Phase II ESA is an investigative survey involving soil and surface/groundwater sampling and laboratory testing. It elaborates in specific detail any existing environmental contamination.
A Phase III ESA is a Remediation Action Plan, which is a detailed strategy for the remediation of polluted media.
