WHAT IS SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING?

Today an increasing number of organizations want to make their operations sustainable. Sustainability reporting becomes a medium for publicly disclosing an organization’s economic, environmental, and social performance. It is a process through which the organizations start to measure, report and improve on the way they make decisions and take actions. It is a non financial reporting system, voluntary in nature and both large and small size organizations can initiate it.

WHY MAKE SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS?

Financial reporting alone no longer the needs of shareholders, customers, communities, and other stakeholders for information about overall organizational performance. Sustainability Reporting provides information about the challenges and achievements to shareholders, employees, the public and other stakeholders. It allows organizations to measure, track, and improve their performance on specific issues. It can ignite commitment towards environmental and social responsibility within the organisation. It can be leveraged as a marketing tool.

LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT, CARBON FOOT PRINTING & CARBON NEUTRALITY

Life Cycle Assessment, Carbon Foot printing & Carbon neutrality For Construction Projects, Products, Organizations

• Baseline Emissions Reporting
• Carbon Reduction & De-carbonization Strategies
• ISOs 14040 and 14044 based Software LCA results

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool that offers a scientific way to mitigate Climate Change. It serves as a first step to reduce the Carbon Footprint and move towards Carbon Neutrality. We offer this powerful method for understanding long-term impacts of your operations & is critical in planning and implementing carbon reduction & carbon neutral targets. LCA allowes baseline mapping, setting emission decarbonization goals, certification credits for LEED Rating and for Regulatory compliances such as Environmental Clearance.

SUSTAINABILITY MAKES BUSINESS SENSE!

Climate change has compelled us to rethink our models of growth and progress. We have come to realise that is our quest for development, we are slowly eroding the very basis of our existence – our natural resources.

With India poised for economic development, we need to ReThink! Can we as business leaders, take our steps towards Sustainability such that India moves to a world that is environmentally, socially, and economically efficient? The answer to the question “Where does Sustainability begin?” is often found in a simple change in mindset.
