Fortalecemos capacidades locales y mitigamos riesgos ESG a lo largo del ciclo del
proyecto, desde el monitoreo territorial hasta el emprendimiento comunitario.
Our team combines geopolitical intelligence, ESG risk frameworks, and media analysis to support strategic decision-making. From human rights assessments to informal mining management and social investment programs, we design solutions that mitigate risks and strengthen the capacities of local communities.
Our country risk monitoring methodology is designed to provide forward-looking, actionable intelligence for clients operating in complex and rapidly evolving jurisdictions. We combine geopolitical intelligence, ESG risk frameworks, and media analysis to support strategic decision-making and ensure operational continuity.
It is a continuous process of analyzing and assessing economic, political, regulatory, and social dynamics that may affect our clients’ operations, investments, and value chains. We evaluate exposure across six interdependent risk dimensions tailored specifically to the mining and energy sectors.
Continuous and iterative monitoring, with monthly and quarterly updates that capture emerging trends, shifts in the risk environment, and opportunities for early mitigation.
Assessment Dimensions:
Embellie has extensive experience conducting Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) assessments that demonstrate our clients’ commitment to respecting human rights throughout their operations and supply chains.
Our teams gather data through direct stakeholder engagement—including workers, communities, civil society organizations, and expert analysis—to go beyond the identification of standard vulnerabilities. We also conduct in-depth assessments to identify broader societal human rights concerns that could affect our clients’ reputation and social license to operate.
Aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines for Know Your Customer (KYC) and Know Your Merchant (KYM) practices.
Our analysis covers:
From Peru to Sudan, Embellie has developed extensive expertise in engaging with informal mining communities. Building collaborative relationships with artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM) remains a significant challenge for governments, companies, and local communities across emerging markets.
Our initial engagement seeks to determine the nature, structure, and objectives of each informal mining community in order to design tailored strategies for highly diverse groups—ranging from illegal operations linked to organized crime to ancestral mining communities with legitimate territorial claims.
Our approach includes:
At Embellie, we believe that sustainable relationships with local communities begin with trust—and trust is best built from within. Rather than relying solely on external experts, we prioritize the recruitment, training, and empowerment of local community members, integrating them directly into our project teams.
In countries such as Peru, Côte d’Ivoire, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Mozambique, this approach has enabled us to identify and train young people from affected communities to participate in data collection, community liaison roles, participatory monitoring, and stakeholder engagement processes.
Impact of our model:
We design and implement early-stage stakeholder engagement strategies that enable companies to build trust, foster meaningful relationships, and secure a long-term social license to operate. Our approach focuses on aligning the technical objectives of a project with the cultural values, priorities, and concerns of local communities.
We also work with operating mines, collaborating closely with employees and affected communities to strengthen their resilience while mentoring community leaders toward diversified and sustainable economic and social development.
