Investors are obliged to prepare the project with the welfare of the community exposed to the side effects of the investment in mind. And we help them do so.

Ahead of us, we are working with a major investment project in offshore wind energy, and actually with an international advisor in obtaining the information needed to prepare a Livelihood Restoration Plan. We are to support, do interviews, advise! A huge challenge, because for Poles it is not obvious that their welfare is taken into account in such activities, they are reluctant to give information, especially sensitive information. But we can do it!

We have just signed, as the first in Poland, a contract to make an LRP and our next LRF. What is it?

LRP and LRF are two documents required by banks, such as the EBRD, and large international financial institutions that need them to grant financing for investment projects. The LRF is the Livelihood Restoration Framework and the LRP is the Livelihood Restoration Plan/Programme.

We are also tasked with reviewing the Stakeholder Engagement Plan. The projects relate to offshore wind energy and, despite their short timeframes, we make every effort to ensure that they are of full value to the client and enable them to obtain loans for their operations.

Last week we went on a vision trip to the seaside! These are the charms of working in SA. Together with Anita Kuliś and Klaudia Drosio from Sotis Advisors, Katarzyna Auffret-Twardowska and the Multiconsult team went. It was not without adventures. We wanted to check where the power cables from the offshore windmills would come ashore. The problem is that you can only get there via the beach. And that took up the task? Our Klaudia! She didn’t just go, she ran! Almost 9 km. Brave!

We are continuing work on the PRAK project, a rail link from the centre of Prague to Prague Ruzyne Airport.

Last year we worked in the Czech Republic on a project to reconstruct and build a section of the railway line from the centre of Prague to Prague Ruzyne Airport. It’s time for the next phase of this project! This time… Yes, we are also involved in the verification and support of the investor in the preparation of the project under the public-private partnership formula, keeping in mind the requirements of investment banks.

Anita participates in the kick-off meeting in Prague and in the field visit. We work in an international team from Deloitte and Afr. The role of social expert is performed by Frédéric Giovannetti, with whom we have acted many times. Anita oversees the environmental implementation of the products. Well… it’s another interesting call ahead of us. And on top of that, we have to organise training on EBRD and EIB requirements for the investor – this will make the preparation of the documents for this project easier.
