Environmental impact studies are essential, as they enable us to assess the potential consequences of industrial or development projects on the natural and human environment, and to prevent any significant damage they might cause to ecosystems or to the quality of life of the people who live there.
They can also help identify public health risks, such as contaminants in water or air. In addition, they can help governments and companies plan mitigation measures to reduce negative environmental and health impacts, and design projects that are more equitable and sustainable for all stakeholders.
CIMA+’s added value in this area is essential for our communities and our clients. We provide decision-makers and stakeholders with objective and accurate information for effective risk management and responsible upstream planning of their projects.
For sustainable, compliant and socially acceptable projects
For our clients, an environmental impact assessment is a crucial tool for making informed decisions upstream of their projects.
The results of assessments enable them to understand the risks and key issues associated with a project, and to implement specific mitigation measures. Our clients benefit from our expertise at every stage of the process:
- Project notices
- Provincial and federal impact assessments
- Sediment and bank erosion management plans
- Public and indigenous community information and consultation processes
- Consideration of sustainable development principles and climate change
- Greenhouse gas (GHG) studies
- Sector studies
- Biophysical environment studies
- Landscape studies
- Noise studies
- Fish habitat compensation projects
- Thematic mapping
- Environmental protection plans
- Environmental monitoring and follow-up programs
- Assessment of cumulative effects
