Social Performance & Stakeholder Engagement Gaining local community and other stakeholders’ acceptance of a development or operation requires an understanding of the social context, careful planning and community engagement. This ensures customers are able to anticipate and manage social impacts and expectations, as well as deliver real benefits. Building trust and remaining focused throughout development and operation is critical to sustaining a company’s social license to operate. Failure to gain and maintain a social license to operate can lead to: • Blocked access to land, shared infrastructure, and resources • Unstable operating environment • Increased financial risk and direct costs • Delayed production • Loss of project approvals • Damage to reputation • Reduced investor confidence

Services Our social performance and stakeholder engagement consultants have proven project success working with project and operations teams to effectively manage social risks and opportunities throughout the asset lifecycle.

• IFC and World Bank social management planning and systems • Local content strategy and plans • Community health, safety and security

Our services include:

• Indigenous participation planning and development

Water Resources Water resources management is no longer a one-off activity to find a water source and to maintain its supply. The industrial water-cycle now allows a host of opportunities to be explored and requires more advanced catchment management techniques, innovative water treatment and recycling methods, footprint reduction initiatives and efficiency. Finding an optimum water supply that meets current requirements, and is sustainable over the long-term, requires a detailed understanding of hydrology, hydrogeology and catchment processes. The constraints and opportunities for water re-use and recycling alternatives must also be understood. Our consultants enable customers to make accurate, reliable and informed water resources decisions that are underpinned by expert knowledge in engineering sciences, water valuation, stakeholder and external factors and integrated technical solutions.

Services To meet global water demands, WorleyParsons provides customers with the expertise, experience and vision to create sustaining solutions for their business. Our services include: • G roundwater and surface water exploration and water source assessment • Water accounting and water trading • Water risk assessment • EcoNomics™ assessment • I ntegrated stakeholder engagement and approvals management • Regulatory risk assessment

Geographic Information Systems and Geomatics The acquisition, integration, analysis and management of spatial data are fundamental to most projects; the ease with which information can be retrieved, displayed and analyzed is critical to project efficiency. Geomatics technologies integrate spatial information for projects and are becoming a standard environment in which to collect, store, manipulate, analyze and distribute spatial information.

ProjectSight ProjectSight is WorleyParsons’ web-based geographic information system (GIS), and a data visualization and integration platform with an easy-to-use, interactive mapping interface. It runs in any web browser, and integrates with many different databases and systems via a modular architecture. This allows users to create field design cases ordered within themes and projects.

Our services Data Management • Spatial database design • Data models • Project GIS standards • Data migration • Data acquisition • Data conversion • Web enabled delivery • Regulatory compliance GIS Analysis • Constraints analysis

• Site suitability selection • Route planning • Terrain modeling (DTM/DEM) • Cut/fill rations, slope analysis • Emergency response • Asset management • Alignment and automatic 3D Visualization • Site/facilities selection • Google Earth integration • 3D modeling/simulations
