Environmental Compliance
Approvals, flows and monitoring.
How we make sure every project meets its environmental obligations and stays accountable.
Environmental approvals
Every project completes the required environmental assessment and approval before construction begins.
Environmental flow
The agreed minimum flow is released downstream at all times, with the release monitored and recorded.
Aquatic life
Designs consider fish movement and habitat, and aquatic life is monitored after commissioning.
Restoration
Construction areas, spoil sites and access roads are rehabilitated and replanted once work is complete.
Monitoring and reporting
Regular monitoring of water quality, flow and biodiversity, with results reported to the authorities.
Grievance channel
Anyone affected by a project can raise a concern through a clear, documented channel and get a response.
Resettlement
Fair treatment for affected families.
Where a project affects land or homes, we follow the same four commitments.
- 1Consult earlyAffected households are consulted before designs are fixed, so their views shape the plan.
- 2Fair compensationLand and property are compensated at agreed, transparent rates, with support through the process.
- 3Restore livelihoodsWhere livelihoods are affected, we provide training, alternative income options and follow-up support.
- 4Monitor outcomesWe check back with affected families over time to make sure they are better off, not just compensated.
Community Benefit Programmes
Sharing the benefits locally.
Programmes that put jobs, skills, health and infrastructure into the communities beside our projects.
Local employment
Priority for local people in construction and operating jobs, with on-the-job training.
Education
Support for schools, scholarships and skills training in the communities around our projects.
Health
Health posts, health camps and clean water support for neighbouring villages.
Local infrastructure
Improved local roads, footbridges and electricity access built alongside each project.
