E&S tools

Practical tools behind my E&S assessments

I build my own tools to make environmental and social reviews faster, more consistent and easier to trace back to evidence. The first one is now part of my daily advisory work.

E Vector Rapid E&S Assessment

A tool I built for my own advisory work. It screens a project, reviews its documents against the IFC Performance Standards and the World Bank Group EHS Guidelines, and turns the findings into a practical action plan.

What it does

  • Screens the project and gives a preliminary IFC/ADB risk category (A, B or C)
  • Checks the available documents against PS1 to PS8 and the EHS requirements for wind energy
  • Rates each requirement as met, partly met, not met or still to verify
  • Builds a corrective action plan with priorities, owners and timing
  • Maps the project location so nearby sensitivities are easy to see

Clients receive the reports. The tool itself stays with me.

What you receive

Two outputs from one assessment

The same findings, written for two different audiences.

E&S risk snapshot on a single page

For lenders, investors and project owners. Project facts and location, environmental, social and legal compliance risks, other constraints, what to know upfront and the management priorities.

Community overview in plain language

For community meetings and public consultation. The same findings explained without technical terms, with clear next steps and an invitation to share feedback.

Samples use a fictional demo project. Details are blurred to protect client information and the method behind the tool.

Why I am building these

Less time compiling, more time on judgment

In my own work, a lot of time goes into compiling site notes, stakeholder records, baseline data and lender requirements. These tools are my attempt to bring that information into one structured workflow, so red flags appear earlier and assessments stay consistent.

Faster

Less time on data compilation and first drafts of reports.

Consistent

The same structured criteria applied across assessments.

Traceable

Findings linked to evidence and the relevant Performance Standard.

What I am working on

The toolkit, step by step

Risk screening and the IFC PS gap checklist now run inside the Rapid E&S Assessment. The other tools are planned and may change based on feedback.

Built into the assessment tool

E&S Risk Screening

Early screening of project sector, location and sensitivity to flag potential red flags and an indicative risk category.

  • Location sensitivity checklist
  • Summary of red flags
  • Indicative IFC category (A / B / C)
Built into the assessment tool

IFC PS Gap Checklist

A structured checklist across Performance Standards 1 to 8 to produce a simple gap table.

  • Compliant / Partial / Gap / N/A ratings
  • Notes and evidence per requirement
  • Exportable gap table
Planned

Action Plan Tracker

Turns identified gaps into actions with owners, deadlines and status.

  • Tracking of priorities and due dates
  • Simple progress overview
Planned

Site & Stakeholder Records

A searchable log of field observations, photos and consultation records.

Planned

ESG Investment Screening

A light screen of material ESG topics for listed companies.

Planned

Report Drafting Support

Structured first drafts of screening notes and gap tables, always reviewed by me before use.

Frameworks behind the tools

Built around recognised standards
