This department operates in accordance with the Environmental Management and Coordination Act of 1999 and the Environmental Impact Assessments and Audit regulations of 2003, closely aligned with the National Environment Management Authority, which is mandated to oversee and coordinate all environmental activities. Geodev (K) Ltd offers environmental services in the following critical areas:
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): This process involves a thorough evaluation of a project’s environmental effects, considering both positive and negative impacts. It includes identifying factors that influence the environment, making predictions about expected environmental changes, evaluating these impacts, proposing measures to mitigate any adverse effects, and establishing baseline data for continuous monitoring. EIA plays a crucial role in shaping policy decisions and addressing environmental concerns.
Environmental Audit (EA): Environmental Audit entails the systematic, regular, and objective assessment of how the activities and processes of an ongoing or existing project align with the approved environmental management plan. It covers the audit of activities, materials used, final products, by-products, waste generation, project activities and processes, as well as the legal and regulatory frameworks governing ecological and socio-economic aspects. Additionally, it identifies potentially affected ecological and socio-economic matters, prioritizes past and ongoing concerns, identifies environmental, occupational health, and safety issues, evaluates the effectiveness and sufficiency of the project’s environmental management plan, and provides detailed recommendations for corrective actions. These recommendations include cost estimates, timelines, and implementation strategies, ensuring that the project complies with acceptable environmental standards. A comprehensive summary encompasses the key findings, conclusions, and recommendations.
These services are vital in promoting environmentally responsible practices and ensuring adherence to environmental regulations and standards.
