EPLSolutions provides the advisory and support services to help organizations develop or operationalize their Environmental, Social and Governance approach.  At EPLSolutions we believe that an ethical company should reach beyond compliance, which means turning ESG challenges into opportunities to improve business outcomes. We work with clients to determine the most important environmental, social and governance issues for their business. We then develop targeted approaches to turn these challenges into opportunities. EPLSolutions views ESG challenges as opportunities to demonstrate our credibility to stakeholders.   We believe that successful management of ESG issues will have broad business benefits including improved project execution and reputational benefits.   

EPLSolutions believes that it is essential to manage the social components of projects to maximize social benefit and mitigate risks. We can help your organization build and maintain a social license to operate so that stakeholders view our projects as contributions to their communities.  EPLSolutions looks for opportunities for stakeholders to become partners in the project's success. Depending on the project, this could range from targeted community consultations to address specific concerns to looking for appropriate ways to include local companies in the project. We combine rigorous processes with experienced professional judgment to develop a logical approach to building and maintaining a “social license to operate.” This approach contributes to efficient, safe and responsible project execution.  

EPLSolutions provides project risk assessment and assurance services to help organizations identify and manage operational risk.  Our approach is one of engagement. Engage project stakeholders early and often with active participation in the risk assessment process e.g. HAZID workshop. Our due diligence process focuses on reducing redundancy in auditing and evaluating and emphasizes the ‘Show Me’ approach. Can the team at the work site do the job effectively, safely, and in line with verified procedures? Can they recognize change and are they equipped to adapt? Our auditors are successfully using this approach with results validated by improved contractor performance. Having a resource in the field allows verification of safe work practices. To support the cohesiveness of the project team we have built a network of professionals with the needed skills set; trained and experienced, team focused, with superior leadership and communications skills. Our field personnel (HSE Coaches and Advisors) have decades of field and management experience in industry. Their role is not to train but to mentor and support the contractor through their own corrective action and training and to provide client oversight of contractor operations.

EPLSolutions can work with you to review your technical requirements, then backward propagate to ensure that value is retained through the entire chain.  We seek to utilize the knowledge of the contractor, pushing their teams to define and refine the product.  This approach can have many benefits, such as improved operational efficiencies, reduced environmental impact, reduced HSE exposure, improved data quality that ultimately drives higher confidence in the final deliverables. We can provide assistance with survey design, survey cost estimates, procurement strategies, vendor engagement, and assessment of bids and assistance with negotiating the contract.
