We conducted labour compliance audits for major hydropower projects in Nepal, including NWEDC, Andritz, and PowerChina, focusing on adherence to labour standards and workforce conditions.
The Challenge
Large-scale infrastructure projects required independent labour audits to ensure compliance with national labour laws and international standards while maintaining operational transparency.
Our Approach
We conducted field-based labour audits, worker interviews, documentation reviews, and compliance assessments aligned with Nepal Labour Act requirements and international frameworks such as IFC Performance Standards.
We evaluated working conditions, contract practices, and grievance mechanisms, and identified compliance gaps with actionable recommendations.
The Result
The audits provided clear compliance insights and practical recommendations that helped improve labour standards, strengthen governance, and support lender and regulatory requirements.
