Technical advisory services
Unlock the potential of your natural resources projects with our conflict resolution-focused ESG consultancy services. We undertake ESG and Supply Chain due diligences both desk-based and in the field. If you would like to undertake one of these email mark@sazaniassociaters.org.uk . The data upload and questionnaire to inform our experienced staff can be accessed via this website.
Sazani meticulously analysed and mitigated ESG, security and supply chain risks, ensuring smoother project execution, reduced the risk of social licence failure, as well as developing and supporting the implementation of innovative solutions.
ESG should be an opportunity for you to acknowledge and mitigate risk, reduce long term and sometimes short time costs, demonstrate the values the company works to and develop an in-depth understanding of the social context your businesses are operating in. ESG and what you do in the field should be driving your share price, building resilience and ultimately saving you money.
In a world of social media, global interconnectedness, investors balancing their clients sensibilities and supply chain vulnerability, you need to be ahead of what is coming down that pipeline.
