ESDD Report Guidance

Environmental & Social Due Diligence (ESDD) Guidance & Template

We created a comprehensive guidance document and a ready-to-use template to support professionals who need to prepare ESDD reports for power projects and other large infrastructure developments.

The Guidance Document

  • Explains step-by-step how to conduct an Environmental & Social Due Diligence.

  • Breaks down the requirements of IFC Performance Standards, World Bank EHS Guidelines, and ILO conventions.

  • Provides practical advice on assessing governance, supply chains, labor practices, community relations, and health & safety.

  • Shows how to link environmental and social risks to investor compliance expectations.

  • Includes tips for presenting findings in a professional, investor-ready format.

The Template

  • A structured Word-based framework with pre-set sections, tables, and placeholders.

  • Covers Executive Summary, Project Description, Governance, Supply Chain, Labor & Working Conditions, Community Relations, Health & Safety, Environmental Risks, Compliance Assessment, Risk Matrix, and Recommendations.

  • Comes with crosswalk tables (Project practice vs. IFC PS requirements), and risk/action plan tables to easily document gaps and mitigation measures.

  • Designed to be plug-and-play: simply insert your project details, evidence, and findings.

📌 Together, these resources make it much easier to produce a professional ESDD report that meets international investor expectations.
