Holistic approach Sample Clauses

Holistic approach. To fully grasp the nature, extent and scope of its obligations and implications, the Escazú Agreement must be analysed in a holistic and comprehensive manner. Its provisions do not operate like silos or watertight compartments but are rather communicating components and should thus not be seen in isolation from one another. As such, it is important to look at the Agreement as a whole and consider the existing connections and interconnections between provisions. For example, the provisions on public participation should be read, among others, together with those on access to information, which guide the provision of information under public participation processes, and access to justice, which is applicable in cases where a decision, action or omission related to public participation in the decision-making process in environmental matters is challenged.

  • Project Approach € Project schedules and budgets are reviewed by the Project Manager on a weekly basis during our company-wide Project Managers Meeting using project status reports generated by our control software (Deltek Vision). Progress is compared to the schedule and budget to ensure adequate resources are available and that necessary coordination is occurring. Costs are reported real time, with actual labor based on time sheet entry and actual expense costs based on invoices. The reporting system can be customized to track specific tasks or efforts in multiple categories, making it flexible enough to adapt to any project specific requirements. We hold regular project coordination meetings to facilitate communication and information transfer among the design team. These meetings are held weekly and are supplemented with e-mail communication, as well as telephone conversations. We hold monthly project status meetings with your project manager to update project status, discuss priorities, and receive direction from City staff. This provides an opportunity for communication and information to flow openly between the City and the design team. These meetings are supplemented by communications that will occur via e-mail and telephone. We conduct meetings with other agencies and stakeholders impacted by the work as needed. E-mail and telephone communication work well for quick questions or minor issues, but we have found that the most effective means of communication with other agencies and stakeholders is the “old-fashioned” face- to-face mexxxxx. Xxbble’s record of providing quality civil engineering services to our clients reflects our ability to manage multiple projects effectively and efficiently. Our philosophy is that each project is personally overseen by one of our principal officers, thereby providing immediate attention to all project aspects (i.e. negotiations, communications, schedule, budgets).

  • Approach All investments are to be made using the value approach by investing in companies at prices below their underlying long term values to protect capital from loss and earn income over time and provide operating income as needed. With regard to equities, no attempt is made to forecast the economy or the stock market. The manager will attempt to identify financially sound companies with good potential profitability which are selling at large discounts to their intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of low prices may consist of some or all of the following characteristics: low price earnings ratios, high dividend yields, significant discounts to book value, and free cash flow. Downside protection is obtained by seeking a margin of safety in terms of a sound financial position and a low price in relation to intrinsic value. Appropriate measures of financial integrity which are regularly monitored, include debt/equity ratios, financial leverage, asset turnover, profit margin, return on equity, and interest coverage. As a result of this bargain hunting approach, it is anticipated that purchases will be made when economic and issue-specific conditions are less than ideal and sentiment is uncertain or negative. Conversely, it is expected that gains will be realized when issue-specific factors are positive and sentiment is buoyant. The investment time horizon is one business cycle (approximately 3-5 years). As regards bonds, the approach is similar. No attempt is made to forecast the economy or interest rates. The manager will attempt to purchase attractively priced bonds offering yields better than Treasury bonds with maturities of 10 years or less that are of sound quality i.e. whose obligations are expected to be fully met as they come due. We do not regard rating services as being an unimpeachable source for assessing credit quality any more than we would regard a broker's recommendation on a stock as being necessarily correct. In any form of investment research and evaluation, there is no substitute for the reasoned judgement of the investment committee and its managers.
