Environmental Impact Assessments
What Is an Environmental Impact Assessment?
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a formal study conducted to evaluate the potential environmental consequences of a proposed development or project. It is a vital step in responsible planning and ensures that environmental considerations are integrated into the decision-making process.
At HETS Inc., we provide comprehensive EIAs in line with international regulatory requirements. Our assessments help developers, planners, and public authorities understand and mitigate the environmental impacts of their projects.
