Frequently Asked Questions

Carbon credits are generated by projects that reduce or remove emissions, such as renewable energy, reforestation, or energy efficiency initiatives. These credits can be sold to companies or governments to offset their own emissions.
 

India’s Carbon Credits Policy is a plan by the government to help reduce pollution and fight climate change. Under this policy, a system called the Indian Carbon Market (ICM) has been made. In this system, people or companies who reduce pollution can earn carbon credits, and others who pollute more can buy those credits
 

Anyone who runs a project that helps reduce pollution can sell carbon credits. This includes projects like setting up solar or wind power, planting trees, saving energy in factories, or managing waste better. 
 

Yes, The Indian Carbon Market (ICM) is regulated by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power, along with the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).
 

ESG reporting involves disclosing an organization’s performance across Environmental, Social, and Governance factors. It allows stakeholders—such as investors, regulators, customers, and employees—to assess how responsibly and sustainably a business operates. It is increasingly important for building trust, ensuring regulatory compliance, mitigating risks, and accessing ESG-linked investment opportunities.

Yes, in many regions. For example, India mandates BRSR for top 1,000 listed companies. ESG disclosures are also essential for investor readiness and global supply chains.

Assurance is third-party verification of ESG data, enhancing credibility, avoiding greenwashing, and meeting regulatory and investor expectations.

We help you align with frameworks like GRI, SASB, TCFD, CDP, ISSB, and BRSR (India-specific), based on your industry and stakeholder needs.

ISO 14064 forms the foundation for environmental disclosure under many ESG frameworks (like CDP, GRI, SASB, and TCFD) by ensuring high-integrity emissions reporting.

ISO 14064 is a global standard that helps companies measure, report, and verify their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

It helps you understand your carbon footprint, meet climate goals, improve ESG reporting, and prepare for carbon markets or regulations.

Yes, we prepare your documents and guide you through the audit process with accredited verifiers.

While LCA is not universally mandated by law, it is increasingly required or recommended under several national and international compliance frameworks, including:

•    The EU Green Deal and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
•    India’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) guidelines.

The timeline typically ranges from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on:

•    Product or process complexity
•    Availability of data
•    Scope of analysis (e.g., cradle-to-gate vs. cradle-to-grave)
•    Projects requiring comparative analysis or advanced modeling may take longer.
 

LCA supports compliance with:

•    ISO 14040 & 14044
•    EU Green Deal & CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism)
•    India’s EPR Guidelines (Plastic, Battery, E-Waste)
•    SEBI BRSR (Business Responsibility & Sustainability Reporting)
•    Voluntary programs like LEED, BREEAM, and GRI reporting
 

Yes. We conduct Prospective LCA to assess products in the design or prototype stage.    
This helps in :

•    Select sustainable materials
•    Minimize environmental impact during early development
•    Optimize for circularity and future compliance

Yes. It reveals process inefficiencies, enables cost savings, supports green branding, and helps meet procurement and ESG expectations.
 

The duration depends on the airport’s size, complexity, and level of preparedness. On average, the process—from data collection, foot printing, planning, to application— takes 6 to 12 weeks. Higher levels (such as Level 3+ and above) may require additional time due to stakeholder engagement and offset verification.

Level 1 focuses on establishing a GHG emissions baseline. Required data typically includes:
•    Electricity and fuel consumption
•    Heating and cooling sources
•    On-site equipment and vehicle usage
•    Emission factors based on GHG Protocol or IPCC Guidelines
This data must be compiled and verified to accurately map Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions.
 

No, carbon offsets are only required starting from Level 3+. At this stage, after minimizing emissions, airports must offset their residual Scope 1 and 2 emissions to achieve carbon neutrality. Acceptable offsets should be high-quality and verifiable, such as those certified under Gold Standard, Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), or CORSIA-compliant schemes.
