Environmental Audit

Environmental impact assessments and compliance audits to ILO and PS2 standards.

Environmental compliance is a non-negotiable requirement for infrastructure projects financed by multilateral lenders, government agencies, and international investors. We support clients by delivering environmental audit and assessment services that identify compliance gaps, quantify environmental obligations, and define clear, actionable improvement plans that keep projects on track and protect their social licence to operate.

Our team works within Nepal’s environmental regulatory framework, including the Environment Protection Act 2076, as well as Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedures. We also align our work with international standards such as IFC Performance Standards 1, 3, and 6, ADB Safeguard Policy, and World Bank Environmental, Health, and Safety Guidelines.

We provide services ranging from standalone environmental compliance audits of operational facilities to full ESIA support for new developments. This includes field inspections, reviews of environmental management plans, analysis of monitoring data, and consultations with workers and affected communities.

Whether you are preparing for regulatory review or strengthening ongoing compliance, we deliver practical, audit-ready outputs that meet the expectations of both regulators and lenders.
