Sustainability Services
Go beyond compliance. Build a science-grounded sustainability strategy that positions your organisation as a genuine environmental leader.
Strategy-Led Sustainability for a Net-Zero Future
Sustainability has moved far beyond corporate responsibility statements. In 2025, it shapes supply chain access, investor confidence, talent attraction, and brand equity. Companies that treat sustainability as strategy — not PR — are gaining measurable competitive advantages.
Greenovate's sustainability practice works at the intersection of science, strategy, and storytelling. We help you understand your true environmental impact, set credible targets, implement practical reduction pathways, and communicate progress in ways that build trust with every stakeholder group.

What is it?
Science-Based Targets (SBTs) are emission reduction targets aligned with Paris Agreement's 1.5°C goal — validated by the SBTi. Net-zero roadmaps map the technology and investment pathway to achieve them.
Why is it required?
Required by institutional investors (BlackRock, NBIM), EU/US B2B customers, and global supply chains. CDP Climate A-list requires SBTi validation. BRSR requires disclosure of emission reduction targets.
✓ Required for CDP A-list and many EU supply chainsWho requires this?
- Listed companies with institutional shareholders
- Exporters to EU and US markets (supply chain demand)
- Companies with net-zero pledges
- Companies in DJSI, FTSE4Good, or Nifty100 ESG indices
How Greenovate helps
- GHG inventory as SBTi baseline
- Near-term (5-year) and long-term (2050) target development
- SBTi commitment letter and portal submission
- SBTi validation support (FLAG for agriculture)
- Net-zero roadmap with technology and investment plan
SBTi Process Steps
- Step 1: Commit (free — 24-month window to develop targets)
- Step 2: Develop targets using SBTi tools
- Step 3: Submit for validation (~$9,500 for large companies)
- Step 4: Communicate targets publicly and report annually
Net-Zero vs. Carbon Neutral
Net-zero (SBTi) requires 90%+ absolute emission reduction by 2050. Carbon neutral allows offsets to compensate — a weaker standard increasingly rejected by investors and regulators.
What is it?
Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040/14044) evaluates environmental impacts of a product from raw material to end-of-life. An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) communicates these impacts credibly to customers.
Why is it required?
Required for EU market access (Ecodesign Regulation), green procurement bids, LEED/GRIHA certification credits, eco-labelling programmes, and B2B customer sustainability questionnaires.
Who requires this?
- Product manufacturers exporting to EU and global markets
- Packaging and material companies
- Construction material producers (cement, steel, glass)
- Companies designing eco-friendly product lines
How Greenovate helps
- Goal and scope definition (cradle-to-gate or full lifecycle)
- Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) data collection
- Impact assessment per ISO 14040/14044
- Hotspot identification and eco-design recommendations
- EPD preparation and third-party verification coordination
What is it?
Measurement of direct and indirect water use (blue/green/grey) per ISO 14046 / Water Footprint Network standard, combined with water risk mapping using AQUEDUCT or WWF Water Risk Filter.
Why is it required?
Required for CDP Water Security disclosure, BRSR water consumption KPIs, investor ESG questionnaires, and water stewardship certifications. Water-stressed India is a key concern for global ESG investors.
Who requires this?
- Textile, food & beverage, and pharma industries
- Agriculture and agri-processing companies
- Companies in water-stressed regions of India
- Companies responding to CDP Water questionnaire
How Greenovate helps
- Water accounting (blue, green, grey) at facility level
- Basin-level water risk mapping (AQUEDUCT/WWF)
- Water reduction opportunity identification
- CDP Water disclosure preparation
- Water stewardship programme design
What is it?
A standalone Sustainability Report or Integrated Annual Report communicating ESG performance to investors, customers, employees, and regulators — following GRI, BRSR, or TCFD frameworks.
Why is it required?
SEBI mandates BRSR in Annual Reports. GRI reports are expected by institutional investors. Sustainability reports build trust, support ESG ratings, and differentiate brands in competitive markets.
Who requires this?
- Listed companies required to publish BRSR
- Unlisted companies with ESG investor requirements
- MNCs with global parent ESG reporting obligations
- Companies building brand through sustainability transparency
How Greenovate helps
- Report framework selection (GRI, BRSR, TCFD, integrated)
- ESG data collection and stakeholder interviews
- Full report writing, structure, and content strategy
- GRI Content Index preparation
- Design brief and assurance readiness support
What is it?
Nature-related risk assessment and biodiversity impact mapping — following the TNFD (Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures) LEAP framework and aligning with CBD's Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
Why is it required?
India's environmental clearance requires biodiversity impact assessment for sensitive projects. Global investors and lenders increasingly require TNFD disclosures. EU CSRD mandates biodiversity impact assessment from 2026.
Who requires this?
- Projects near forests, wetlands, or ecologically sensitive areas
- Agriculture, food & beverage, and agri-processing companies
- Mining, quarrying, and construction projects
- Companies with EU investor or supply-chain requirements
How Greenovate helps
- Site dependency and impact screening using IBAT and AQUEDUCT
- Biodiversity baseline assessment and EIA integration
- TNFD LEAP process: Locate, Evaluate, Assess, Prepare
- Nature Positive target-setting and biodiversity offset design
- BRSR biodiversity KPI disclosure support
What is it?
Strategic advisory on transitioning industrial energy use to renewable sources — covering rooftop solar, open-access wind, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), green hydrogen, and RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates).
Why is it required?
Scope 2 emissions are the fastest-reducible element of an industrial footprint. SBTi targets require renewable electricity sourcing by a defined year. RECs support the Scope 2 market-based accounting method.
✓ RE transition is the fastest path to Scope 2 net-zeroWho requires this?
- Energy-intensive manufacturers with high electricity consumption
- Companies with SBTi 1.5°C targets requiring RE by 2030
- Companies supplying to RE-committed MNC buyers
- Data centres and IT parks with 100% RE commitments
How Greenovate helps
- Renewable energy feasibility and financial modelling
- Open-access solar/wind procurement support
- PPA structuring and developer selection
- REC procurement strategy and tracking
- RE transition roadmap with Scope 2 reduction milestones
