CORE (Environmental Consultancy)

Great ideas make big projects and projects of a certain scale might adversely affect the environment. Several policies have been introduced to curb pollution. Our role is to help the project proponent conceive an environment-friendly project and thus we provide the following services:

Environmental Clearance

Environmental Clearance (EC) is a key document in the current landscape to show the viability of any project. It is required by banks to verify the feasibility of projects. As per EIA notification 2006 and further amendments, guidelines have been construed by MoEF&CC for evaluation and assessment of projects to limit the pollution and environmental damage that may be caused by them. JMESPL ensure that the future of growth and prosperity is hampered by positive environmental actions.

Forest Clearance

A major part of the Indian sub-continent is still under protected forest areas, several pieces of these lands have been provided the title under the Forest Conservation Act 1980 and since have become desolate and to change the land-use due process is observed to receive clearance from the Forest Department. JMESPL facilitate a functional solution for such cases.

CRZ Clearance

With India having a coastline spanning around 7,516 kms, the coastal regions have become significant for the economic growth and development of industries like shipbuilding and mining. In 2018, the government issued the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification 2018 to remove restrictions on building, streamlining the clearance process and increasing tourism in the coastal areas. Projects in deemed Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) need to adhere to CZMP developed by State Coastal Zone Management Authority. JMESPL helps proponents to designate the correct project site and procure all necessary permissions.

Consultation for NGT Cases

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) is a statutory body in India that deals with expeditious disposal of cases related to environmental protection and other natural resources. It was set up under the National Green Tribunal Act in 2010. The NGT consists of chairperson who should have been retired as Supreme Court judge. National Green Tribunal bench consists of ten Judicial Members (retired Judges of High Courts) and ten Expert Members. JMESPL provides technical assistance to plead environmental cases based on the advisory role of former members of NGT.

CGWA-NOCAP

The Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA) regulates the water extraction activities within the country. They issue NOC to abstract ground water (NOCAP) considering several key components of the environment to maintain the underground water reservoirs and keeping them from getting depleted. JMESPL understands the need to educate the proponents of the stipulated guidelines and help CGWA by proposing well-rounded systems of operation of projects.

EIA Study

Every commercial activity is hampered by certain pollution loads, the assessment of all the types of pollution accrued by particular project and its anticipated impact on the study area is calculated and presented in Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) Study.

ESG Due Diligence

In today’s business landscape, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) factors are becoming critical to the success of businesses across sectors. Customers, employees, shareholders, investors, rating agencies, and regulators are increasingly focused on how companies conduct their business, its impact on the world, and their contribution to society. Traditional due diligence focuses on deal-specific risks and opportunities, historical and projected earnings, the quality of assets, commitments, and contingencies. In addition, ESG Due Diligence (DD) offers a comprehensive assessment of material ESG risks, liabilities, and opportunities for a target, which may be a portfolio company or transactional target. It helps identify and mitigate potential risks around reputation, regulatory challenges, and financial impacts.

Corporate EHS Audits

An EHS audit is a key piece of your EHS management system, assessing your compliance with applicable MoEF&CC regulations and The Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 (by Ministry of Labor and Employment) standards to ensure that your management system performs as intended. Corporate entities serving their intended roles are assisted by JMESPL to organize their policies, dejecting any hazards due to non-compliance to EHS guidelines by conducting thorough investigations with help of in-house developed software and elaborate team of experts. 

Consent to Establish/Operate

Projects need to procure Consent from State Pollution Control Board before commencing any activity on the project site to keep the respective authorities informed of the project activity which lies in their region to help evaluate, monitor and regulate the pollution loads. JMESPL has successfully helped several industries and mining operations to achieve necessary permissions in accordance with all concerned guidelines.
