Social & Communities

Communities and stakeholders have the power to derail your project when their needs and expectations aren’t proactively and transparently managed.

Social & Communities

How ESS delivers it

Our Social and Communities Department provides services designed to generate win-win solutions to difficult issues such as resettlement, livelihood restoration, compensation and stakeholder engagement.

We are also regularly engaged to assess key social issues such as community development needs, human rights, gender and diversity, gender-based violence and cultural heritage.

ESS can support you to
  • Prepare and implement Resettlement Action Plans, Livelihood Restoration Plans and compensation, in line with IFC PS5 and documented appropriately
  • Develop a Stakeholder Engagement Plan and engage proactively with stakeholders to inspire trust and buy-in throughout the project lifecycle
  • Undertake Human Rights Impact Assessments as per the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs)
  • Provide a Social & Communities Team via our HSEC Outsourcing service, with local specialists supporting to implement on the ground.
