We support clients from initial assessment through implementation, reporting, and continuous improvement.

Sustainability and ESG reporting is increasingly important for SMEs, large enterprises, manufacturers, exporters, suppliers, and service companies. Businesses often need ESG reporting to meet investor expectations, customer sustainability requirements, supply chain assessments, regulatory compliance, tenders, and sustainability ratings. Even companies without mandatory requirements benefit from sustainability reporting by improving transparency, risk management, and long-term business resilience.

Yes. We support both voluntary sustainability reporting and mandatory ESG, GHG, and regulatory reporting requirements. Our consultancy helps organizations align with international reporting frameworks, customer-driven disclosure requirements, and evolving sustainability regulations, ensuring accurate, consistent, and credible reporting.

Sustainability Reporting provides a holistic view of a company’s environmental, social, and economic impacts, focusing on long-term value creation and stakeholder communication. ESG Reporting is more structured and data-driven, focusing on metrics related to environmental performance, social responsibility, and corporate governance, often required by investors, ratings agencies, and financial institutions. We support both approaches and help companies integrate them effectively.

Yes. We provide comprehensive GHG reporting and carbon footprint calculations, including Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Our services include data collection, emissions calculation, reporting, and interpretation to help organizations understand their climate impact. We also support emissions reduction planning and align reporting with recognized GHG standards and frameworks.

Yes. Our EcoVadis consultancy includes gap analysis, documentation review, policy development, action plan implementation, and performance improvement support. We help organizations understand EcoVadis assessment criteria and strengthen their environmental, social, and ethical practices to improve EcoVadis ratings and enhance supply chain sustainability performance.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a verified and standardized document that transparently communicates the environmental performance of a product. EPDs are increasingly required for green building certifications, sustainable procurement, and customer sustainability requirements. We support EPD development using reliable LCA data and ensure compliance with applicable program rules and standards.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific method used to assess the environmental impacts of a product throughout its life cycle, from raw material extraction to end-of-life. An EPD uses LCA results to create a verified, standardized declaration for external communication. We provide both LCA studies and EPD development, depending on business and market needs.

Yes. We provide FSC and PEFC consultancy to support responsible sourcing and sustainable forest management. Our services include gap assessment, chain-of-custody system development, documentation support, and audit readiness. FSC and PEFC certification helps organizations demonstrate sustainable supply chain practices and meet customer and market expectations.

We provide ISO consultancy for sustainability, environmental, quality, and occupational health and safety management systems. Our services include system design, documentation development, implementation support, training, and continuous improvement. ISO standards help organizations improve operational efficiency, manage risks, and demonstrate compliance with international best practices.

Yes. We develop customized sustainability strategies based on materiality assessment, risk and opportunity analysis, stakeholder expectations, and business objectives. Our sustainability strategy services include policy development, target setting, KPI development, action planning, and performance tracking to ensure long-term impact and measurable results.

We tailor our sustainability consulting services based on company size, industry sector, geographic presence, regulatory requirements, and stakeholder expectations. Our structured yet flexible approach ensures practical implementation, measurable outcomes, and alignment with business goals, ensuring sustainability becomes an integrated part of operations rather than a standalone activity.
