Hatch’s Environmental Assessment Management group has successfully provided environmental impact assessment and management services for a wide variety of projects in the metals and mining, infrastructure, and energy sectors.
Our approach is to integrate environmental, community and social issues into an impact assessment and management process that provides clients with the ability to manage issues in a cost-effective manner throughout the Project Lifecycle Process. Integration starts upfront in the concept phase when key sustainability, environmental and social issues are identified in the context of the project environment and the approach to environmental and social management on the project is agreed to with the client. This then sets the platform for the project as it develops through to implementation and into operations.
We have managed integrated Environmental and Social Impact Assessment projects on our clients’ behalf and assisted in maximizing social benefits while minimizing the residual environmental impacts of their projects through appropriate selection and design of process and technology. Hatch ensures that all environmental regulations and standards are referenced and that the owner’s environmental commitments are complied with.
