Social Studies and Community Engagement
Social responsibility is fundamental to credible business practice. The increasing recognition of the social aspect of social and environmental assessments and evaluations for the extractive industries is at the core of this business line. Our team of social specialists is highly experienced in the practical development and execution of social baseline investigations, impact assessments, management systems, action plans, resettlement plans, and stakeholder consultation and engagement.
Knight Piésold has participated in numerous major social and environmental impact evaluations and management systems prepared to accommodate Equator Principles and International Finance Corporation expectations. By combining the collective expertise of our global staff, we can offer an integration of culturally unique experiences and perspectives in a variety of settings. We also have substantial experience in a variety of education and training programs at all levels of corporate sophistication. Our social impact assessments, public consultation programs, community development plans, indigenous peoples' development plans and resettlement action plans combine to promote globally relevant best practice in social responsibility.
