About Project
Following the completion of an Environmental and Social Due Diligence (ESDD) and an Environmental and Social Action Plan (ESAP), a Zimbabwean client required auditing to assess the level of implementation. This auditing was crucial to ensure compliance and effective implementation of the recommended actions.
Objective and Methodology
The goal was to conduct thorough follow-up auditing to evaluate the implementation of the ESDD and ESAP recommendations. Our approach included:
Document Review: Assessing all relevant documents to understand the implemented measures.
Site Visits: Inspecting the physical sites to directly observe the implementation status.
Stakeholder Interviews: Conducting interviews with key stakeholders involved in the ESDD and ESAP processes to gather insights on challenges and progress.
Results
The follow-on auditing revealed:
Implementation Level: Detailed insights into the degree of adherence to the ESDD and ESAP recommendations.
Red Flags Report: Timely identification and reporting of any potential red flags to prevent environmental and social risks.
Recommendations for Improvement: Suggestions for enhancing the implementation process based on the audit findings.
