Turn your sustainability goals into measurable results.

Practical ESG.
Measurable Impact.

Teravora is an environmental and social risk practice — evidence-led, with the method shown at every step, so your numbers hold up when someone independent checks them. Including India's BRSR Core assessment or assurance readiness, when you're facing a deadline.

ESG Environmental, Social & Governance.
WHAT'S DRIVING THISRISK · CAPITAL · DISCLOSURE

The pressure isn't only a filing. It's your capital, your deals and your licence to operate.

Lenders and DFIs test projects against the IFC Performance Standards and the Equator Principles. Buyers and investors ask for defensible ESG data. And India's listed companies now face independent assessment or assurance on BRSR Core. Different triggers, one demand: numbers that hold up when someone independent checks them.

THE CARBON STORYSCOPES 1 · 2 · 3

For many organisations, a significant share lies in the value chain.

Scope 3 — the value chain — is often the largest share, and that is where the work gets real. We have taken it the whole way: Scope 3 across all 15 categories for an energy company.

SCOPE 1 · DIRECTFuel combustion, process emissions and company assets — the footprint you own and control.
SCOPE 2 · ENERGYPurchased electricity, steam and cooling — the emissions embedded in the energy you buy.
SCOPE 3 · ALL 15 CATEGORIESPurchased goods, transport, waste, business travel, use and end-of-life — the whole value chain, end to end.

FOR LENDERS & DEAL TEAMS

The diligence has to survive the deal clock.

IFC Performance Standards and Equator conditions land on the deal, not after it. Desktop ESDD where speed governs, escalating to Site-based ESDD where the risk demands eyes on the asset — findings reported for decisions, not for shelf documentation.

ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL DUE DILIGENCE

Bring us your deal, or your deadline.

Two questions scope your proposal — and your specification builds live on the right. Then a specialist responds; a real person, not a form receipt.
