Impact assessments (social, health and sustainability):
We are experts in assessing the future potential effects of planned interventions via social impact assessment (SIA), health impact assessment (HIA) or sustainability assessment. We recommend ways to stop negative outcomes and promote positive outcomes. Our assessments have informed projects, programmes, policies and strategies in New Zealand and throughout the world. We work within Environmental Assessments to provide an understanding of potential social or health effects. We have undertaken over 60 assessments including assessment of social effects, health effects and effects on multiple domains (integrated and/or sustainability assessment).
