Welcome to this new certification on environmental impact assessment. If you already are an environmental impact assessment manager or you are working in a different field, but you would like to dig deeper into this, perhaps you are an operations manager or you're working as a financial manager that would like to understand better environmental impact assessment. Definitely this is a space for you. We are gonna focus a little bit more on technical aspects, but specifically how to develop an environmental impact assessment and how we can help us make better decisions at a corporate level.

00:00:32.770 --> 00:01:03.600
We also want to understand the links with other agents and the possibilities that can be derived from the collaboration and cooperation with other organizations in our environment, specifically how to incorporate valuable insight to ensure long term success of our organization. So we want to consider environmental impact assessment as a key element when we are defining any organization strategic approach and in this way we're gonna be able to contribute to the global objectives of our organization.

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:34.260
The sustainable development and, of course, being compliant with international regulations, there are more and more being oriented towards environmental and social matters. We always want to take these into consideration. So the program is going to focus structure on five main elements at the beginning to understand the framework of environmental impact assessment, starting with an introduction, evaluating the need for EIA. When is it that the regulation in my context has this requirement.

00:01:34.470 --> 00:02:06.500
Or when is it that from a voluntary perspective it can add significant value to my decision making? We're then gonna follow through with methodologies for environmental impact assessment at large and then digging deeper into the mostly used quantitative and qualitative approaches for environmental impact assessment. And last but not least in this first part, we're gonna focus on how to incorporate environmental impact assessment into the overall risk assessment of our organization. After this first blog, we're going to move forward with how to incorporate environmental impact assessment.

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:36.900
Into the overarching structure of our corporate decision making and approaches. First part will focus on creating an environmental management system where we're going to manage impact address and then for instance monitor, which will be our topic 7. All of the elements regarding our environmental effects. So how our organization and how the production processes and other activities of my entity is actually having any type of positive.

00:02:36.980 --> 00:03:09.820
Or negative impact on the environment. Afterwards, we're gonna understand how to conduct environmental auditing and create and comprehensive environmental reports that can actually help not only my organization internally, but also other stakeholders to understand better my approach. They have become a fundamental tool to interact with stakeholders in every part of the world. In some cases even we have frameworks where if you are a company listed in the stock market of your nation, you are required to have an environmental impact assessment.

00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:44.930
At the same time, there's over 100 different countries that have regulations on the requirements of environmental impact assessment in order to conduct new projects, so being able to create comprehensive environmental reports and reviews, it's going to be fundamental for us. And last but not least, how do we incorporate all of these aspects for every decision making that we need to do? In this case, it's going to be important for us to understand how to move forward with this. To conclude, I would like to share with you some of the key outcomes #1 developing a global mindset in environmental.
