Environmental Management Plans are a key component of project planning processes and play a central role in the phases of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA). They provide a comprehensive regulatory framework to guide and monitor environmental activities throughout the different stages of a project. These plans aim to ensure that operations are carried out in a way that contributes to achieving the principles of sustainable development by balancing the requirements of economic growth with the preservation of environmental resources.

These plans typically include a set of preventive and mitigation measures designed to reduce negative environmental impacts, in addition to environmental monitoring and follow-up mechanisms, emergency response systems, and waste management plans. They also encompass awareness and training programs for workers to ensure compliance with approved national and international environmental regulations and standards.
