INNOVATION SOLUTIONS MENA

Environmental & Social POLICY

Innovation Solutions MENA Inc. is firmly committed to conducting its operations in a manner that upholds environmental sustainability and social responsibility. We recognize that ethical consulting extends beyond compliance and technical delivery—it includes how we interact with ecosystems, communities, and cultures across all regions where we operate.

Environmental Responsibility:

  • We minimize our ecological footprint by reducing non-essential travel, prioritizing digital documentation over print materials, and discouraging the use of single-use plastics and non-renewable resources.

  • All team members are expected to demonstrate environmental mindfulness by conserving energy, managing waste responsibly, and supporting local sustainability initiatives during project implementation.

Social Responsibility:

  • All staff must respect the cultural, religious, and social norms of host communities. Behavior that is disruptive, dismissive, or ethnocentric is strictly prohibited and may lead to disciplinary action.

  • We promote inclusive engagement practices that value local knowledge, empower stakeholders, and foster trust with beneficiaries and community leaders.

  • Cultural sensitivity is not only a professional obligation—it is fundamental to achieving meaningful and lasting development outcomes.

This policy is aligned with:

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

  • Goal 5: Gender Equality

  • Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

  • Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities

  • Goal 13: Climate Action

  • Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

The World Bank Group Environmental and Social Standards (ESS), especially:

  • ESS1 – Assessment and Management of Environmental and Social Risks

  • ESS10 – Stakeholder Engagement and Information Disclosure

All team members share the responsibility to embody these values in practice, not just in principle. Ethical impact, long-term credibility, and community trust depend on our daily decisions and interactions.
