Environmental and economic assessments wouldn’t be complete without lending equal consideration to people the social aspects of sustainability. Positive and negative activities are to be measured in order to plan for unintended and/or unforeseeable consequences that may be interrelated with the other two aspects of sustainability. Creating strategies to improve the social dimensions of the equation can result in a more sustainable and equitable biophysical and human environment. Your efforts will result in greater returns when conducted in a collaborative manner and when all three dimensions are in harmony!

Unethical practices such as the obstruction of human rights, discrimination, poor health and safety standards, and the extent to which an entity engages the community are a few measurable factors that will help to determine the social performance of the assessed entities. Resources revealing reliable information will be scanned for controversies just as site visits, verification of regulatory compliance, and the implementation of policies reflecting international standards will be used as a means to justify our evaluations.
