Noventra Consulting manages the alignment of energy, infrastructure and industrial investments with international financing standards (IFC PS, EBRD PR, WB ESF and more) — establishing your social risk analyses, stakeholder engagement strategies and management systems (ESMS) to the highest standard.

About Us
Strategic Social Risk Management and Independent Expertise for International Investments
Noventra Consulting provides independent lead advisory services to investors and institutions navigating compliance with the social standards of international financing institutions (IFC, EBRD, the World Bank and others). By analysing the social risks of large-scale infrastructure, energy and industrial investments, we help projects complete their financing approval processes.
Our services go beyond reporting alone: we build corporate management systems (ESMS) aligned with international standards, design stakeholder engagement strategies (SEP), and deliver independent monitoring backed by qualitative and quantitative data analytics.
Noventra draws its strength from an academic sociology background, certifications in international standards and deep "Social Performance" expertise gained across projects in multiple sectors. We stand beside you as a strategic partner, protecting the prestige and financing security of your investments.
“We are by your side to make impact visible, processes manageable and solutions actionable.”

How We Work
A Transparent Process from Scoping to Close-Out
The four-step method we follow on every project defines lender expectations from the outset, validates them against field reality, and delivers audit-ready outputs.
Scoping
We determine the applicable standards (IFC PS, EBRD PR, WB ESF) based on the project and its financing source, then analyse the gap against the current situation.
Gap analysisField Work
Through stakeholder interviews, focus group discussions and on-site observation we establish the social baseline and identify vulnerable groups and impacts.
Field dataAnalysis & Reporting
We rate impacts, apply the mitigation hierarchy and prepare investor-grade, audit-ready plans (ESIA, SEP, RAP, GAP).
Audit-ready reportMonitoring & Improvement
We track indicators (KPIs) regularly, review the grievance mechanism and sustain compliance through a corrective action plan (CAP).

Frequently Asked Questions
What You Want to Know
Common questions about Social Impact Assessment, stakeholder engagement and reporting processes.
What is ESIA and when is it required?
Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is the process of analysing the impacts of internationally financed projects on communities and stakeholders to IFC/EBRD/World Bank standards. It forms the basis for the social baseline studies and risk mitigation plans required for project financing.
Why does compliance with IFC Performance Standards matter?
International financial institutions (IFC, EBRD, World Bank) require compliance with these standards as a condition of lending or investment; non-compliance can put financing approval or ongoing loan tranches at risk.
Which projects require a Stakeholder Engagement Plan (SEP)?
Projects that affect communities, the environment or local stakeholders and receive financing from international financial institutions are required to have a SEP; it includes stakeholder mapping, engagement strategy and grievance mechanism design.
How often is M&E reporting carried out?
Depending on the project and lender requirements, in quarterly, semi-annual or annual packages; delivering indicator-based, action-oriented reports with KPI and CAP tracking.
Which regions/sectors does NOVENTRA work in?
NOVENTRA, based in Ankara, serves projects across Türkiye in the energy, water & wastewater, transport, infrastructure and construction sectors that receive financing from international financial institutions (IFC, EBRD, World Bank).
