Abantu Environmental Services (Pty) Ltd is an environmental consultancy firm established in 2018. The company has a country wide footprint and specialises in environmental impact assessments, environmental specialist studies, water use licence applications, and environmental compliance auditing as well as monitoring for all kinds of developments, both inland and coastal.
Our advisory services span all development stages — feasibility, planning and design, construction, operations and decommissioning — for both the public and private sectors, including all government spheres, property development, agriculture and farmers, mining, and energy and electricity.
The company is a Level 1 BBBEE contributor with 100% youth ownership by a sole director who falls under the category of Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDI) and hails from rural areas of South Africa. We are registered with the South African Council for Natural Scientific Professions (SACNASP) and the Environmental Assessment Practitioners Association of South Africa (EAPASA).

The social sphere, constituted by people, is an important component of sustainable business and development. We value and respect people from all ethnic groups, cultures and religions, and uphold the principle of "umntu ngumntu ngabantu" — a person is a person through other people. In project delivery we always seek to maximize job creation and skills transfer for people, particularly Historically Disadvantaged Individuals (HDI).
The biophysical environment is the mother of man and his endeavours upon the earth. It is therefore of utmost importance to advocate for environmental protection and conservation whilst also encouraging promotion of social livelihoods and wellbeing, sustainable development and economic growth.
Professionalism is an important element of the core pillars of the consultancy. It underlies our good work ethics, efficiency, and high-quality project deliverables of industry standards tailor-made for client needs and conforming to relevant legal requirements.
