Environmental and Social Solutions Information

Environmental and Social Solutions (ESS) is a company formed in 2008 by a group of experienced development and industry professionals in order to service the needs of clients whose projects are located in developing countries.

 It is now recognized that the private sector makes a major contribution to the economic development of many low and medium income countries. However, one condition for net development benefits to accrue to the host country is that the environmental and social (E&S) impacts of the projects should not only be mitigated but that every opportunity to convert project affected people and areas into beneficiaries should be seized.

 ESS recognizes that designing, implementing and monitoring environmental and social protection measures during project preparation, construction and operation phases in developing countries is not the core capacity of every project developer. Creating and mobilizing such capacity as part of a start-up company during preparation can be expensive and risky. 

Designing and undertaking these activities is the core business of ESS.
