In-depth Study on Environmental and Social Impacts and Risks Faced by Japanese Businesses in Lao PDR
UNDP – IMPACT Biz Project
The IMPACT Biz project works with line Ministries, international Chambers, the National University and Non-Profit Associates to strengthen the understanding and capacity of all stakeholders to uphold the international standards for responsible business practices, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Civitas developed qualitative and quantitative participatory methodologies to enable Japanese Business entities in the Lao PDR self-identify and analyse their impacts on society and the environment from their business practices, identify risks caused by impacts, barriers to risk alleviation, and the creation of sustainable and appropriate mitigation strategies.
