ESG road map is a strategic framework that outlines the goals, actions, and timelines for implementing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles within a company. This involves conducting an ESG gap analysis to identify current practices against desired standards, highlighting areas for improvement. Companies can then use this analysis to develop a comprehensive plan for integrating sustainable practices into their business operations.
This includes establishing key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress, engaging stakeholders at all levels of the organization, and embedding ESG considerations into decision-making processes. Through systematic implementation of these initiatives, companies can enhance their reputation, attract investors who prioritize sustainability, mitigate risk, and drive long-term value creation while contributing positively to society and the environment. Ultimately, a robust ESG system can position a company as a leader in responsible business practices and future-proof its operations in today's increasingly conscious market landscape.
Are other Environmental criteria may include a company’s energy use, waste, pollution ,natural resource conservation . Social criteria look at the company’s business relationships. Does it work with supplies that hold the same values as it claims to hold? Does the company donate a percentage of its profits volunteer work there? Do the company’s working conditions show high regard for its employees’ health and safety? About governance, investors may want to know that a company uses accurate and transparent accounting methods and that stakeholders are allowed to vote on important issues.

Sustainability Reporting through BRSR & GRI Consulting and Reporting
Sustainability reporting is becoming more prevalent, driven by a growing recognition that sustainability related issues can materially affect a company’s performance : demands from various stakeholders groups for increased levels of transparency and disclosure ; and the need for companies to appropriately respond to issues of sustainable development.
Sustainability reports based on the various reporting framework disclose outcomes and results that occurred within the reporting period in the context of the organization’s commitments & strategy.
Ecoverix will help to organisation for ESG Reporting and Disclosure as per National & International Requirements - GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP, BRSR, European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and many more.
Carbon reduction programs & Cost saving Projects
Ecoverix will help organisations to Map out ESG & GHG emission Scope 1,2 & 3 , Materiality assessment, Strategy for Green supply chain, Value stream mapping for energy waste, energy spend analysis and identification of carbon reduction & Energy saving projects for implementation.
GHG Emissions Verification and reporting
Organizations may choose to pursue validation and verification of their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for various reasons, such as enhancing their annual report, communicating with customers, meeting regulatory or investor reporting obligations, or publicly showcasing their emission reduction accomplishments. In many instances, these disclosures must be verified by an independent third party to ensure credibility.
Moreover, organizations opt for third-party validation to guarantee that their current GHG emissions inventory complies with established standards, frameworks, and requirements. Given that emissions factors, calculations, and disclosure regulations are constantly evolving, Ecoverix is committed to assisting your organization in accurately inventorying and reporting your GHG emissions data.
LCA-Life Cycle Accounting
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), also known as life cycle analysis, is a method used to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with every stage of a commercial product, process, or service. This includes assessing the environmental effects from raw material extraction and processing, through manufacturing, distribution, use, and ultimately recycling or disposal.
During an LCA study, a comprehensive inventory is conducted to identify the energy and materials needed throughout the supply chain and value chain of a product, process, or service.
This information is then used to calculate the corresponding emissions released into the environment. The goal of LCA is to assess the cumulative environmental impacts and provide a detailed overviewof the product's environmental profile. This serves as a foundation for accurately comparing carbon footprints and identifying areas for improvement.
Climate Change Management through ISO 14068
ISO 14068-1 stands as the globally recognized standard for managing climate change and transitioning towards activities with low greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This standard, which supersedes PAS 2060 (carbon neutrality), outlines the principles, requirements, and guidance necessary to achieve and demonstrate carbon neutrality by quantifying, reducing, and offsetting your carbon footprint.
ISO 14068-1 builds upon established GHG quantification, reporting, validation, and verification standards, such as ISO 14064-1 (for quantifying and reporting GHG emissions and removals), ISO 14064-3 (for verifying and validating GHG statements), and ISO 14067 (for assessing GHGs in the carbon footprint of products).
This global standard offers a structured methodology for evaluating carbon neutrality, ensuring that efforts are authentic, equitable, science-based, and transparent. By merging carbon neutrality and net zero concepts, ISO 14068-1 eliminates ambiguity and establishes a clear framework to support the journey towards carbon neutrality.
Ecoverix team will assist you in achieving verification through an ISO 14068-1 audit, which includes conducting a gap assessment and benchmarking. We will evaluate your capabilities and provide support to facilitate continuous improvement in this area.
