About EIS-Ambiental

Social and Environmental Impact Assessment

We are a consultancy specializing in Human Environment assessment, Due Diligence, Social Performance Standards, and Community Engagement.

Our History

EIS-Ambiental was founded under the name Social and Environmental Impact Assessment, as a pioneering consultancy in Chile for implementing the Social Impact Assessment (SIA) methodology within the SEIA framework. From our inception, we understood that environmental assessment should not be a mere formality but a powerful tool for building territorial legitimacy, fostering dialogue, and generating institutional trust.
