What Probity is

Environmental, social, and human rights assessment — systematized

Probity is the platform where project teams assess their environmental, social, and human rights impact, manage the relationship with communities and local stakeholders, and keep the whole compliance record documented. It takes a process that today lives scattered across consultancies, spreadsheets, and PDFs, and turns it into a single system: a structured analysis right by right and impact by impact, a traceable record of every decision and its basis, and a living map of who is affected and what was committed to each of them.

Assess

A matrix of rights × types of impact turns expert judgment into a structured, comparable, auditable analysis.

Manage stakeholders

Identification of affected communities and stakeholders, with a record of engagement and of the commitments made to each one.

Document compliance

Every finding, measure, and commitment carries its source, its date, and its owner. The file that will strengthen your project before the regulator, the lender, or the auditor.

The problem

Environmental impact assessments (EIAs) and human rights risk evaluations are costly, slow, and non-standardized processes.

Manual processes

Consulting firms charge $500K–2M USD for assessments that take 12–18 months and end up as a PDF.

Regulatory fragmentation

CSDDD, NEPA, IFC PS, ANLA… every jurisdiction requires different formats. There's no unified platform.

Reputational risk

60% of environmental and social conflicts happen at the licensing stage due to incomplete assessments.

The value of acting early

Anticipating conflict costs a fraction of what it costs to halt a project

Every one of these projects was viable. What they lacked wasn't capital or engineering — it was sight of the problem while there was still time to solve it.

How it works

Probity structures the assessment with an rights × types of impact, calibrated against a base of historical cases from six continents, curated by specialists in international human rights law and growing continuously.

  1. 1

    Project coordinates → automatic satellite intelligence

  2. 2

    Scoring with traceability and citable sources

  3. 3

    Management of stakeholders and affected communities

  4. 4

    Traceable reports, adaptable to the format each regulator requires

One global standard

Probity does not issue country-by-country legal opinions. It assesses against international human rights law — the UN Guiding Principles, ILO Convention 169, the ICESCR, UNDRIP — the common substrate on which national licensing regimes are built. That is why the same analysis holds in any country, and its output translates into whatever format each authority requires.

Pilot phase · 2026

We're in pilot testing

Probity is in a validation phase with a select group of consulting firms and project teams. We don't currently have public pricing.

If you have a project with environmental, social, or human rights due diligence needs, reach out to explore joining the pilot.
