About EIS-Ambiental

Objectives
In contexts where the legitimacy of the process is as important as regulatory compliance, EIS-Ambiental offers expert technical advice for the design, implementation, and monitoring of differentiated indigenous participation and indigenous consultation processes in accordance with ILO Convention 169.
We have a senior team with extensive experience in indigenous participation and consultation, having worked in institutions such as SEA, CONADI, INDH, and SMA, as well as the industry's leading mining companies. We specialize in territories linked to the lithium, copper, and large-scale mining industries in general, where highly qualified technical, intercultural, and political management is required.

Differentiated indigenous participation with an intercultural and normative approach
We design and facilitate differentiated participation processes that respect the indigenous peoples' own forms of deliberation, language, timelines, and organizational structures. Our methodology complies with the SEIA frameworks, the SEA Guide, and international commitments on collective rights.
Indigenous consultation (regulated and voluntary) with technical and legal support
We accompany all stages of the consultation process: planning, characterization, notification, dialogue, and closure. We integrate regulatory, legal, and anthropological approaches, ensuring documentary traceability, cultural relevance, and technical defense before evaluation bodies and environmental justice.
Characterization of the indigenous human environment using validated methodology
We apply a pioneering approach in Chile based on Social Impact Assessment (SIA) adapted to SEIA. This methodology allows for an in-depth characterization of indigenous ways of life and their links to the territory. It has been validated by authorities and successfully defended before the Environmental Court, including projects in areas of high extractive pressure.
Institutional traceability and strengthening of public capacities
We develop protocols, reports, minutes, and matrices that strengthen the traceability of the consultation and participation process, facilitating audits, responses to comptroller inquiries, and regulatory consistency. Transferable skills for public teams, regional governments, and services with a territorial presence.
Human Rights Due Diligence
We have a technical advisory and institutional support program aimed at state agencies to integrate human rights due diligence into public policies, plans, programs, projects, and decision-making processes, especially in complex territorial contexts and those with indigenous populations. The service supports the State in identifying, preventing, mitigating, and monitoring human rights risks and impacts arising from its actions or omissions, strengthening institutional coherence, regulatory compliance, and the legitimacy of public management.
