Environmental & social toolkit

A proven methodology, ready to use.

To guarantee the quality, compliance and traceability of its assignments, E2CS Consult has developed a complete toolkit — from prospecting to close-out — aligned with the World Bank, AfDB and IFC frameworks and with Senegalese regulation.

Thirteen tools, four families

What our clients never see,
but always benefit from.

These internal instruments are what let us hold a deadline, guarantee that no standard has been overlooked, and hand you a consistent deliverable from one assignment to the next.

Alignment

Every tool points back to a specific requirement.

Our templates are not generic: section by section, they carry the cross-reference to the standard they satisfy — ESS 1 to 10 for the World Bank, OS 1 to 5 for the AfDB, PS 1 to 8 for the IFC, and the articles of the Senegalese Environment Code.

That is what allows us, at the end of an assignment, to produce a compliance grid documenting how each requirement was addressed — and to avoid rounds of review.
