EMM’s social assessment and performance team have extensive experience with the application of social research methods such as in-depth interviews, community impact surveys, social impact and opportunity workshops, values mapping, social return on investment, focus groups, and social risk framework. Our social research approach ensures the social impact assessment is informed by a cross section of the community.
