About Us

who we are

In the back drop of relevant scientific evidences, from the outset we have had a different approach to greenhouse gas project consultancy and project development. Our UNFCCC CDM, VERRA VCS, VERRA CCB, SD Vista, Gold Standard, REDD+, Plan Vivo, Sustainability and other GHG projects due diligence, consultancy and process integrity is one of the best in the industry.

Consultancy and project development has been a part of our DNA since 2004. We are working as a team since 2004 and formally established this organization in the year 2007. We started our operations on the premise that there is a better and meaningful way to deliver to the clients, industry and society at large. Climate change is a real danger to this planet and it is our collective responsibility to address and work towards climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Our website is not aiming to show too much of text explaining theories, news and stories to read. Rather we focus on what one should know to navigate in the complex world of climate protection related services and solutions, with an aim of results based outcomes which benefit stake holders, project owners, governments and our planet at large.

We work hard to understand the client businesses and projects, ask smart and sometimes challenging questions and bring such appropriate and effective ideas to the client’s table that may not have been considered or thought before.

Our ability to draw upon our long years of proven expertise in consultancy, training and project development makes us truly unique and we are able to continuously deliver insights and services that other consultants find difficult to offer. This has been proven on the ground, time and again since last several years. No wonder we have won fifteen prestigious global awards since 2013 for consultancy and project development in CDM, VCS CCB VERRA, SD Vista, GS, REDD+, Plan Vivo, IREC, Sustainability and GHG space.

Our profile on the CDM Bazaar website

The quality and calibre of our technical and operations team members is our key strength. Our continuous calibration of our employees, associates and external resources is helping us to plan and deliver better quality services and solutions.

We recognize that every client and project is unique and we do not work on predetermined approaches and does not rely on off the shelf solutions.

Our breadth of experience in tens of technical methodologies in variant credit standards, depth of knowledge and process capabilities across project types, stake holders and countries help us to bring fresh perspective to the project consultancy and development. Our experience covers most of the technical areas including specialist forestry related services. Our team’s combined consulting years of experience is more than two hundred years with multiple language skills and geographic exposure.

We are a professionally managed entity with a greater emphasis on integrity, ethics, process and technical rigor, transparency, non-litigant approach and timely response. We never compromise on applicable rules and regulations, processes and integrity. But neither do we demand excessive amounts of documentation from the project owners and clients. Because we know where the pitfalls are, we know how effectively the project documentation is to be done and pass the assessment by external agencies in a timely manner. We believe in reducing the risk of delay while keeping costs to a minimum. We are flexible and responsive to the needs of the clients, including the onsite and offsite support.

We are presently working on projects located in several countries across Asia, Europe, Africa and Americas covering most of the technical sectors. We have a multinational talent pool and able to discharge services in various languages including but not limited to English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.
