Our Services

We're here to help.

 

 

We are problem-solvers,
often called into a project or operation to help it build relationships
damaged by actions and events that erode trust

We serve a wide range of clients with operations and projects involving land, mineral, oil and gas, hydro-electric, agricultural and forestry resources. We also help public and private financing groups and Equator Principles Financial Institutions understand social, environmental and resettlement risk.

Our expertise includes effective remote and on-the-ground policy, program design and implementation for resettlement, conflict and security assessments, due diligence, community engagement and human rights, and capacity building so your team and local consultants can help you conform with evolving international standards.

We use methods and techniques developed and proven effective over almost 20 years of experience.

We are sensitive to client needs, active and take initiative. We build client organizations’ capacity so they can undertake our work on their own. At that point, we’re out of a job, which means we’ve done what we set out to do for you.
