Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) Service

Early Insight. Responsible Decisions.

At DKS Capital Advisory, Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) is designed as a strategic early-stage assessment, enabling project sponsors, lenders, and regulators to understand potential environmental and social risks before commitments are made. IEE provides clarity at the outset—supporting sound planning, faster approvals, and responsible project design.

IEE is a preliminary assessment process that identifies potential environmental and social impacts of proposed projects, determines the appropriate level of environmental review, and recommends mitigation measures. It plays a critical role in deciding whether a project requires a full EIA or ESIA, and how environmental and social risks should be managed from the earliest planning stage.

 

Our IEE services are aligned with:

  • Bangladesh Environment Conservation Act, 1995 (ECA)

  • Environment Conservation Rules, 1997 (ECR) and DoE screening requirements

  • Bangladesh Bank Sustainable Finance Policy and Environmental & Social Risk Management (ESRM) Guidelines

  • World Bank Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) – project screening and risk classification

  • IFC Performance Standards – early identification of E&S risks

  • ADB Safeguard Policy Statement (SPS) – environmental screening and categorization

Candidates can look forward to regular client contact, a role in business development and proposal writing/methodology creation, and a
