Social Assessment and Performance

Delivering shared value outcomes for our clients and the communities in which they operate.

A strong social assessment does more than meet regulatory requirements - it helps build lasting relationships with communities, supports planning approvals, and strengthens a project’s social licence to operate. We draw on deep experience across geographies to deliver tailored, high-quality social performance advice that identify both risks and opportunities for shared value.
