Our services
Environmental Services
NEMA impact assessments, audits, strategic assessments and EPR compliance, from project planning to decommissioning.
Overview
Almost every significant development in Kenya needs environmental approval from NEMA before it starts, and must keep demonstrating compliance once it operates. Getting this right protects your project from stop orders, fines and delays, and protects the people and environment around it.
We cover the full environmental lifecycle: assessment before a project starts, audits while it operates, and strategic assessment of the plans and programmes that shape many projects at once.

What is the difference between an EIA and an Environmental Audit?
An EIA is carried out before a project starts, to predict its impacts and obtain an EIA licence. An Environmental Audit is carried out on a project that is already operating, to check its actual performance against its management plan, licence conditions and the law.
Who issues environmental licences in Kenya?
The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), under the Environmental Management and Co-ordination Act (EMCA). Reports submitted to NEMA must be prepared by experts registered with the Authority.
