Environmental Planning and Management
With a growing public and regulatory awareness of the importance of incorporating economic as well as environmental, social, and governance considerations into the natural environment, environmental planning has become a critical part of any project.
Environmental Planning is a critical part of any new development or expansion project or for larger projects at the time of decommissioning. It leads the decision-making process for development and is designed to ensure that impacts on the environment are acceptable from both an environmental and social perspective.
With Anthesis’ extensive resources and expertise, we can offer a comprehensive range of services throughout the project lifecycle, including feasibility studies, design inputs, assessment of impacts to meet regulatory requirements and obtaining permits and ensuring environmental compliance during construction and operation.

Environmental Assessments
Anthesis is ready to assess the potential impacts of a development or land use project on the environment, including air and water quality, noise, and wildlife. We use environmental assessments to develop all environmental plans, assess feasibility and work collaboratively as part of design and technology selection to maximise positive outcomes of environmental planning decisions.
Our team conducts EIA’s and also ESIA’s according to national planning requirements, IFC and World Bank standards and international best practice. We support developers and financing agencies to successfully conduct impact assessments at both the design and decommissioning stages.
Nature and Ecology Services
Natural Resources Management
Environmental planning also includes everything from natural resources and ecosystems. The conservation and management of natural resources, such as water, forests, and minerals is essential to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Our team of experts can help organisations assess the impacts and dependencies of their value chain and operations on nature, supporting a rapid identification of hotspots and opportunities to improve on for example biodiversity and ecosystem integrity.
Ecology and Ecosystems
Anthesis’ ecology team has extensive experience in undertaking comprehensive baseline biodiversity investigations and detailed ecological impact assessments to identify the nature and extent of these impacts. We can help you:
- develop mitigation and compensation strategies
- ensure that ecological impacts are avoided or reduced to within acceptable limits.
Our ecology assessments are designed to mitigate our impact on the natural land and conservation areas and can also be seamlessly integrated into EIAs.
