Tiivistelmä
The aim of this thesis was to make an environmental, social and governance impact statement of a waste-to-energy power plant. The objective was to make a report that WOIMA Corporation could utilize when working to build power plants with developing countries.
The thesis focused on the environmental, social and governance impacts of a waste-to-energy power plant. Legislations and requirements are the main part to consider when making an impact statement. Scientific articles and the material provided by WOIMA Corporation were used to make this thesis.
The central factors of environmental impacts are waste and pollution, resource depletion, greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation and climate change. The central factors of social impacts are employee relations and diversity, working conditions, local communities, health and safety and conflict. The central factors of governance impacts are corporate governance, corporate behavior, corruption and bribery as well as corporate social responsibility.
