About Us

We are a group of consultants, specialized in various areas of the social and natural sciences, committed to improving the well-being of communities. We develop specific and relevant proposals regarding the socio-environmental context of proposed projects.

Convinced that the land is the perfect canvas to express social change, our work is focused on socio-territorial analysis to successfully manage the intertwining of socially responsible urban and infrastructure projects with the environment. As a result, we increase community resilience through sustainable development proposals based on resiliency methodology.

What We Do

Since 2014 we have carried out assessments, consultations, audits, and socio-environmental management of infrastructure and urban projects, as well as developed social programs for those projects, always seeking suitable strategies for the common good. We also develop multidisciplinary programs that allow comprehensive social management of the projects.

1.1 Social and Environmental Impact Assessments

The process of evaluation of the social and environmental impact of infrastructure and urban projects allows us to get to know the territory and its way of life, to identify the expectations of the project in relation to the environment, and to forecast the possible impact its activities could generate. In compliance with current regulations, we design appropriate management programs to guarantee successful results throughout the execution of every project.

The impact evaluation set the ground for the development of programs that aim to measure changes in the involved communities and identify actions with short and medium term benefits for all stakeholders.

1.2 Assessments of Mobility, and Public Urban Spaces

In compliance with current regulations, our aim is to identify the socio-territorial elements that affect the perception of the space and its functions. The purpose of these assessments is to create strategies that favor social and mobility interactions.

2.1 Social, Environmental, and Territorial Analysis for Projects

By way of analysis of the socio-environmental context, we identify the risks, the expectations and the stakeholders of the project, to assess the required management strategies with the communities and the feasibility of the project. We are aligned with the best international practices, such as the Equator Principles, IFC Performance Standards, and the ILO Work Agreements, among others.

2.2 Community Development and Resilient Thinking Consulting

Company-promoted social investment can be an engine for change to strengthen community resilience and improve local socio-environmental conditions by way of development projects. Resilient thinking is our analytical framework to design flexible and dynamic proposals, where change and technological innovations are vital instruments in the identification of the processes that strengthen community growth.

2.3 Consulting for Indigenous Communities

The right to know, express an opinion, and decide on proposed changes in a territory, that may affect its social environment, can bring great benefits to communities and legal shielding for projects. We deliver prior, free, and informed consultations for dialogue-based community participation.

3.1 Social and Environmental Management

We implement communication and bonding strategies to build respectful and amiable relationships between communities and stakeholders, as well as risk reduction plans for projects to be developed and delivered successfully.

3.2 Public Hearings Management

Changes in current policies in Mexico City require public hearings for the development and construction of large real estate projects. Social impact assessments identify possible social effects in order to design mitigation and prevention programs that ensure the integration of the project to its environment. In compliance with corresponding regulations, we carry out evaluation and consultation processes to create relationships based on trust and foster stakeholder agreement.

4.1 Auditing for Social and Environmental Compliance

A review is carried out, by way of exhaustive tests, to ensure every project complies with applicable laws, regulations, procedures, and agreements on social and environmental matters before governmental, financial and communitarian institutions.

How We Do It

We use both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. We conduct research, analysis, and develop strategies harmonious with the socio-environmental space and the stakeholders, promoting community resiliency through education, employment, and human development projects.
