Specialties of Ross Mitchell:
My 25-year career includes impact assessment, social policy, stakeholder engagement, environmental management, and international and rural development. I have directed and assisted with many mining and energy projects in Canada, Europe and Latin America, including major Social Impact Assessments, Due Diligence, the development and implementation of social assessment and stakeholder engagement tools, and more strategic work in Sustainable Development. I have worked on social policy design and implementation, social management systems, social reporting, and analysis of International Finance Corporation (IFC) Performance Standards such as health and indigenous peoples.
I have also worked for several years as a forester and planning consultant. Countries I have worked in include Canada, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Suriname, and the United States.
