Environmental Services.

The service

This process predicts and assesses the potential environmental and social impacts of a proposed project, evaluates alternatives, and designs appropriate mitigation, management, and monitoring measures. This ensures that proposed projects are well thought out before implementation, with their effects on the environment and society envisioned, and mitigation measures deployed.

01 · Approach

Baselining, assessment and engagement.

We possess extensive experience in environmental consultancies for international and local clients in projects spanning renewables, recycling, mining, settlement planning, and infrastructure. We offer a comprehensive range of environmental services from screening and scoping studies to full impact assessments, mitigation, stakeholder engagement, development and monitoring of ESMPs, commitment register databases, and disclosure processes.

We offer an integrated approach that covers all aspects of environmental and social baselining and impact assessment. We incorporate key elements such as biodiversity assessment and offsets, human rights and health issues, and critical habitat and ecosystem services assessments.

Stakeholder engagement and disclosure processes are at the heart of environmental services at Geosurveys and Geospatial Information Ltd. Our team has vast experience across a diverse range of countries, including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda. We have extensive expertise in preparing Summary Project Reports and Comprehensive Project Reports, depending on the project’s extensiveness and detail demand.
