Nodo Sur Social Partners advises operators, investors, and lenders on the community, regulatory, and governance dynamics that determine project outcomes across Chile and Latin America.
Projects navigating permitting, FPIC processes, and stakeholder engagement in contested territories across the Andean corridor.
Operators and developers expanding across the Cono Sur who need on-the-ground social intelligence, regulatory navigation, and institutional credibility built from first engagement.
Institutional investors requiring ESG due diligence, IFC Performance Standards alignment, and social risk assessment before commitment.
Operations facing community opposition, regulatory breakdown, or reputational damage that requires structured recovery and relationship reconstruction.
Every mandate begins with a situation — not a service menu. We have identified four recurring situations that determine whether a project moves forward, stalls, or recovers. Each has a distinct advisory approach.
20+ years leading ESG, social performance, and sustainability at Goldcorp, Newmont, Eldorado, and PwC. We have sat on your side of the table. We understand the boardroom pressure and the community reality simultaneously.
Deep knowledge of Chile and Latin America's SEIA processes, Indigenous law and ILO 169 protocols, and the social complexity of the territories where we operate — from high-altitude Andean communities to coastal and frontier zones. We know the regulatory relationships, the stakeholder dynamics, and how decisions are actually made on the ground.
Fluent in IFC Performance Standards, EBRD Environmental and Social Policy, Equator Principles, UNGP, ICMM, and Towards Sustainable Mining (TSM) standards. We translate global frameworks into local execution — and make your project legible to international lenders.
We collaborate with a curated network of specialized consulting firms across Latin America and internationally — covering environmental engineering, legal advisory, stakeholder facilitation, and socioeconomic development. This allows us to assemble highly specialized, project-specific teams on demand, combining senior advisory leadership with deep technical expertise tailored to each mandate.
