2 Our Environmental and Social Performance Services

2.1 Impact Assessment Impact Assessment is a key management tool for decision-makers on development projects. It predicts environmental and social impacts of projects at an early stage and presents options for minimising negative impacts through alternative designs or mitigating measures. Impact Assessment is best undertaken at the preliminary phase of the project or development, so that recommendations can be incorporated into the evolving designs. This enables the optimum

solution for the proposed project to be achieved. Following execution of the project, the impact assessment enables continued monitoring of impacts. Impact Assessment should deliver information as objective as possible so it can be used by all stakeholders: the proponent, the competent authority, investors and the civil society.

O p e n


BZ1046I&BCS1810241144 5

An integrated process Our multidisciplinary teams take an integral approach to the impact assessment process. Royal HaskoningDHV blends technical expertise in soil, water, air, waste, ecology, legislation, and social expertise, with architectural, engineering, logistics and infrastructure knowledge. Our practical project management experience allows us to guide a project from concept stage, to eventual permitting and approval. Combined with our organisational expertise, in areas such as training, public participation, communication with stakeholders and institutional development, this makes us an excellent partner for the complete process. Key steps delivered • Scope the impact assessment

The scoping exercise ensures that there is a wide consensus on the eventual shape and emphasis of the impact assessment, provides guidance during the rest of the assessment process and partly represents the results of the stakeholder consultations at this stage. • Describe the baseline

As part of the scoping study, an inventory of available baseline data is conducted and missing data identified. When important information is missing, which is required for a proper impact assessment baseline field surveys will be required.

• Identify and assess the impacts

The identification and assessment of the environmental, social impacts are based on:

• Project Description, • Legislative Review and Standards, • Environmental and Social Baseline, and • Concerns and expectations raised by

stakeholders. All impacts will be identified whether they are beneficial or adverse, cumulative, short or long-term, temporary or permanent, direct or indirect, local or strategic. Having determined the likely magnitude of an impact, it is then essential that the significance

is evaluated. Such evaluation may involve comparison with national, international or industry standards. • Define mitigation measures and alternatives

All significant impacts will be considered for mitigation and control through avoidance, minimisation and compensation measures. Measures will be developed for incorporation in the project design, construction or operation phase. Also essential is a consideration of alternatives that are environmentally and socially favourable.

Where the effectiveness of mitigation measures is uncertain, or depends on assumptions about operational procedures, monitoring programmes and/or management procedures will be defined.

• Engage with stakeholders

The impact assessment takes account of stakeholders concerns about potential environmental and social issues. A Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP) is usually developed as part of the ESIA. Other types of Impact Assessment Next the “standard” Impact Assessment, we deliver other types of assessment studies for specific purposes: • Strategic Impact Assessment • Cumulative Impact Assessment • Human Rights Impact Assessment The new digital ESIA, visual, interactive, collaborative Responding to the increasing demand for digitization and transparency, we have pioneered the way in which all data surrounding the impact of a project on the environment is visualised and shared. This is an inspirational world where ESIA reporting is quicker, more interactive, transparent, and accessible. A time when decision-making is rapid and efficient. This is #TheNewEIS.

2.2 Management Planning Our services don’t stop at the delivery and approval of the ESIA report. We further support our clients in the next stages of their project development whether it is in the (detailed) engineering, procurement, construction, operation or decommissioning phase. E&S requirements in procurement process We develop E&S specification to be included in tender documents and review E&S performance of Contractors as part of the tendering process. Development of specific Management Plans When the project moving forward more information is available, which make it possible to develop more specific E&S Management Plans than the ones developed as part of the ESIA. For example while the information available during the ESIA process only allows to develop a Resettlement Policy Framework, information later on available about the exact footprint of the project makes it possible to prepare a Resettlement Action Plan.

Other specific plans we have experience with include: • Occupational Health and Safety Plan • Traffic Management Plan • Waste Management Plan • Biodiversity Management Plan • Monitoring Plan • Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan • Etc. E&S Management System As required by IFC PS1, where environmental or social risks and impacts are identified, the project promotor/sponsor is required to manage them through an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) appropriate to the nature and scale of the project. Depending on the stage of development of such an ESMS we provide our expertise in the development and implementation of the different elements of the system.

2.3 Lender’s Advisor Sponsors of large and complex projects worldwide look for finance from specialist investment banks. These projects all have a variety of technical, environmental and social risks, and others which can include stakeholders, organisation and management, as well as political and contractual. Working closely with the investment banks we establish a dedicated team of engineering, social, environmental, economic and legal professionals to perform the due diligence and/or independent monitoring. We use experts from our local offices, if necessary hiring external specialist to complement our own team. We fully understand and have extensive experience in assessing compliance towards lender’s environmental and social safeguards requirements (IFC Performance Standards, EBRD

Performance Requirements, etc.). We are successfully advising financial institutions and private clients on these issues. Our due diligence and monitoring delivers pragmatic, technical advice focused on project content. We emphasise dialogue and communication both within the team as well as externally with project stakeholders. Our reporting identifies and quantifies the risks, and includes the likelihood of occurrence as well as possible mitigation measures. This list can be used for highlighting focus areas for future observation as the project progresses. The report also contains requirements that can be included in the Common Terms Agreement, as a Condition Precedent (CP) or in an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP).
