• Social impact studies and citizen participation processes
• Social risks and impacts assessments and management planning
• Advice on consultation and free, prior and informed consent with indigenous peoples
• Land acquisition, easements and resettlement
• Community relations, communication and management of expectations
• Dialogue with unions and associations of fishermen and coastal communities
• Social investment management and profit generation
• Conflict prevention, negotiation, and mediation
• Due diligence and human rights assessment
• Livelihood restoration monitoring systems
