Service Code: CON-001-ES
Purpose of the Service
Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) and Monitoring Services is a comprehensive review process carried out to assess the compliance of a project or business with the environmental and social performance criteria expected by international financial institutions.
The aim is to make visible existing risks, regulatory non-compliances and operational impacts of the institution and to provide investors and project owners with a reliable, independent and technically valid assessment.
The monitoring process is designed to confirm whether commitments are fulfilled during the project implementation period, identify areas for improvement and ensure sustainable performance.
