ELC has a proven track record in Environmental, Social, Health, and Safety (ESHS) management and compliance, particularly in some of the world’s most significant dams, geothermal, and power distribution projects. With extensive experience in both public utility and private sector projects, ELC ensures that all projects adhere to the highest international standards for environmental and social responsibility.

From the prefeasibility phase through to construction supervision and project completion, ELC provides comprehensive support in the identification, assessment, and mitigation of potential environmental and social risks. This includes conducting Environmental and Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), health and safety audits, and developing Resettlement Action Plans (RAP) where necessary. ELC’s expertise extends to ensuring compliance with the stringent safeguards and performance standards established by major International Financing Institutions (IFIs), such as the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and regional development banks.

By integrating these international standards into every phase of a project, ELC supports sustainable development while minimizing negative impacts on communities and ecosystems, ensuring that both public and private sector clients in the power market maintain alignment with global best practices for ESHS management.
