The Reykjavik Geothermal drilling project in St. Vincent and the Grenadines was the first of its kind in the country. Therefore, the project was setting many precedents for environmental and social (E&S), and health and safety (H&S) standards. 

Following Screening, Terms of Reference, Baseline Study, Scoping report and Environmental & Social Impact Assessment (ESIA), guideline documents were written and implemented, such as:

  • A project ESHS handbook: Environmental & Social Management System (2018)
  • Stakeholder Engagement Plan, updated at least annually since 2015 to 2020
  • Quarterly Monitoring & Evaluation reports through the years 2019-2020
  • Resettlement Action Plan, Version 02, Vol I with completion audit
  • Resettlement Action Plan, Version 02, Vol II (Consultations)
