ERM has over 35 years experience of providing  Impact Assessment and Planning (IAP) input to projects in the oil and gas, mining, land development, transport, infrastructure, and power sectors. Our goal is always the same: assisting our clients to get their projects planned, built and operated on schedule, while meeting their own expectations for management of impacts on the local population and environmental, social and cultural resources. By helping clients bring these issues into the project planning process early we achieve environmental objectives; enable savings in capital and operating costs; and avoid significant approval and other delays.

ERM supports sustained business success in a context where environment, health, safety and social performance expectations are rapidly increasing. Our Performance and Assurance team provides a full range of services designed to help our clients address the opportunities and risks arising from these important developments. We focus heavily on performance improvement (accident and incident prevention, enhanced regulatory compliance and reducing impacts on people and the environment arising from stable operations) as well as the processes, leadership and behavioral dynamics that underpin the achievement of these ends.
