5 Commitments Register
This should contain all the environmental commitments made by the project, including those
made as part of:
a access negotiations.
[   ]
b the production sharing agreement.
[   ]
c host government agreements.
[   ]
d inter-government agreements.
[   ]
e permit requirements.
[   ]
f other public commitments from ESIA, public documentation, Consultation meetings etc.
[   ]

Where possible it should:

a be maintained as a stand-alone document separate from the ESIAs. but developed in parallel with the ESIA
preparation. [   ]
b commitments should be agreed between the ESIA delivery team (company and consultant) and the engineering
design team. [   ]
c be simple, clear, and well-defined, and identify the source of each commitment together with assigned
responsibilities for delivery. [   ]
d form the basis of an Action Tracking Register to ensure that the discharge of commitments is monitored and
recorded. [   ]
e be reviewed appropriately prior to being made public to ensure that:
[   ]
• commitments are technically, financially, and temporally feasible before release of the documents for public
consultation. [   ]
• the commitments can be practically delivered and that construction and cost implications are acknowledged
and incorporated in project plans. [   ]
• it is adequately be considered in the contracting strategy and incorporated into invitations to tender and
subsequent contracts. [   ]
f Discuss Commitments with contractors during the tender clarification meetings to ensure that they understand
the commitments and expectations, and that their price reflects these accordingly. [   ]
g Hold further formal meetings with the selected contractor on contract award to review the commitments and the
contractor’s plans to deliver them. [   ]
h Incorporate the commitments that extend beyond project construction into the operations EMS.
[   ]
i The Environmental Commitments Register should fit into the central Project Commitments Register which contains
other commitments made e.g. local workforce content, community development, training etc. [   ]
j The Commitments Register should fit within the project Management of Change system such that a transparent
and defined recording and communications process can be followed should there be modifications to
