Environmental Impact Assessment supports responsible project development
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a key tool when a project may cause significant adverse environmental impacts. The assessment considers effects on areas such as biodiversity, climate, water bodies, natural resources, people and the built environment. Its purpose is both to improve the quality of information available for decision-making and to strengthen opportunities for public and stakeholder participation.
Why and when is an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) required?
An Environmental Impact Assessment procedure may be required for projects such as biogas plants, waste treatment facilities and large-scale farms. The need for an EIA may arise when statutory thresholds relating to the scale of the planned activity are exceeded.
​
The regional ELY Centre assesses and determines whether an Environmental Impact Assessment is required. In some cases, an EIA procedure may also be required for projects below the specified thresholds if their environmental impacts are considered significant.
What are the benefits of completing the EIA process with Envitecpolis?
An Environmental Impact Assessment is not only a statutory requirement. It can also serve as a strategic tool for responsible project and business development. Envitecpolis’ experts ensure that the EIA process is integrated into the overall planning of your project rather than treated as a separate administrative exercise.
We support the Environmental Impact Assessment process from start to finish, helping ensure a high-quality outcome that provides practical value for project planning, authority processes and stakeholder engagement.

Supporting the transition towards clean industry
An EIA prepared by Envitecpolis can also support wider national and EU objectives related to the transition towards cleaner industry. Environmental Impact Assessment promotes sustainable project development and helps ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into investment planning from an early stage.
​
When carried out effectively, an EIA can create value not only for the project itself, but also for regional development, land-use planning and cooperation with key stakeholders.
