Sustainability Services

Sustainability and sustainability reporting entail a well-tailored sustainability strategy.

Ecolithic

Sustainability Strategy

A strategy shows the roadmap for a business and helps inform all stakeholders about where the business will arrive and how to arrive there. For example, if a company operates in the EU, its strategy should be in line with the expectations of the European Green Deal. Each strategy is unique to the business and should be developed carefully.
In strategy development, three qualifications elevate your business: Experience. Science. Diligence. We carry and offer all of them.
With 27 years of hands-on experience and a science-based approach, Ecolithic is built on a foundation that translates into high-quality solutions and services. Ecolithic: Your partner in navigating the future.

Sustainability Management & Compliance

Regulatory compliance services, sustainability in value chains, life cycle analysis (LCA), product carbon/climate footprint (PCF), product sustainability management, and ecodesign for sustainable products are some services that Ecolithic can deliver in this category. The initial reaction to sustainability reforms and regulation is mostly about compliance. However, sustainability mainly means good governance. We know company motivations and main considerations, and we know how to help. Ecolithic meets your expectations in environment, social, governance (ESG) or environment, health, and safety (EHS) domains. We consider “rational sustainability” an umbrella concept encapsulating all positive acronyms and their actions toward value creation in the long run. Ecolithic helps develop your ESG scores and helps manage your sustainability journey. Our experienced team leaders work together with the managers and staff of our client companies. Our compliance teams check the regulatory compliance gaps and risks and develop sound and broad recommendation lists. We keep the current and regularly follow the regulatory agenda in sustainability worldwide. Sustainability management also includes supply chains and product sustainability, as well as life cycle analysis or assessment (LCA). Supply chains are the new focus in sustainability transformation. In particular, the EU reforms and regulations put extra emphasis on the sustainability of supply chains and, more broadly, value chains. In the EU, the new Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), entered into force on 18 July 2024, is the cornerstone approach to more environmentally sustainable and circular products. We can include all sustainability dimensions in this category, such as decarbonization, net-zero efforts, regulatory compliance, CBAM, CSRD, or any other compliance requirements, as well as sustainability communications by harnessing advanced technology.

Ecolithic stands by companies in sustainability management and compliance and offers tailored governance tools and compliance services.

We transform challenges into opportunities; we do it together.

Sustainability Transformation

Today’s sustainability regulations and market demands force companies toward better governance and better sustainability figures over time. Today, either ESG or EHS or, broadly, rational sustainability needs transformational approaches.
We handle ESG and EHS management professionally with scientific approaches.
Sustainability transformation is the broadest work in sustainability and might take several years; for some large companies, transformation might take more than five years. Such a challenging and long journey can be managed only by scientific and professional approaches. In this journey, Ecolithic can be your partner. Ecolithic: Your partner in long-term value creation through sustainability transformation. Ecolithic – your partner in navigating the future – is not only there to offer solutions in mitigating risks but also to foster collaboration in unlocking global business opportunities to support your sustainable growth through sustainable transformation.

Sustainability Reporting & Disclosure

Sustainability reporting and disclosure are crucial in today’s business and finance world. Professional sustainability reports might increase your power in the global business and finance world. We may evaluate your business to determine which sustainability reports are more valuable to you. Then, we can start preparing necessary data and data channels by harnessing advanced technology tools, including EcolithicAI. We can help you prepare all kinds of sustainability reports and disclosures without any exceptions.
We follow and implement global and regional sustainability standards, such as GRI, ESRS, and IFRS S1/S2 disclosures.
Ecolithic is a proud community member of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), one of the largest and highly revered global sustainability organizations.
Sustainability reporting, sustainability disclosure, or providing product or service-related sustainability information to reporting companies are widely becoming mandatory worldwide.
Sustainability reporting is no longer “a nice to have” activity, a “voluntary” business project, or a “marketing” tool. It conveys economic and financial values, and for many companies, either in the EU or in other economic regions, it is mandatory.
Our digital solutions give your company a significant cost advantage and increase the speed of sustainability reporting.
Ecolithic can combine various sustainability standards into one single report by considering interoperability dimensions. Utilizing digital reporting platforms, we significantly cut reporting costs and increase the speed and frequency of all kinds of sustainability reporting.

Sustainability reports are the documents where business organizations reflect their sustainability levels and performance, and their future power in the business and finance world.

In technology solutions, we broadly follow a twin transformation approach.

Ecolithic

Sustainability Technology

In today’s expectations, sustainability cannot be managed without advanced technology. Ecolithic can help digitalize your operational processes, spot and help generate reliable data channels, and deploy advanced technological tools in its platform. We provide numerous digital solutions, starting from carbon footprint calculations to AI-supported sustainability reporting. Our IT staff and sustainability experts work together to develop and innovate new digital tools.
Ecolithic = SusTech
Ecolithic is mainly a SusTech (sustainability technology) company dedicated to digital solutions in sustainability and sustainability reporting. EcolithicAI, a meticulously designed AI-powered reporting tool, enables efficient collection, processing, and reporting of large-scale data. EcolithicAI, a product of Ecolithic, is built to significantly reduce workload while delivering fast, accurate, and reliable reporting. We use EcolithicAI only whenever it is feasible to keep reliability and accuracy close to 100% level. EcolithicAI is only a supporter and companion, not the main actor; the main actors are always our in-house experts. In technology solutions, we broadly follow a twin transformation approach when our clients indicate interest. Twin transformation means the synchronal integration of sustainability and digitalization into policies and practices. Twin transformation presents unheard-of challenges, risks, and opportunities. Here, only a limited number of companies can help: Ecolithic belongs to this group.

Decarbonization & Net Zero & Climate Neutrality

Decarbonization stays at the center of businesses until they reach the net-zero level. Carbon neutrality and climate neutrality are central concepts in sustainability. Almost all sustainability policies and sustainability reporting standards include decarbonization targets, as economies and the world have. For example, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals address 17 fundamental sustainability fields and 169 sub-goals. “Climate action” is one of the SDGs. The Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty on climate change, forces countries and economic regions to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels” and pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” The EU has more ambitious targets. In 2023, the EU adopted a set of Commission proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, transport, and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. In February 20204, a more ambitious target was recommended by the European Commission for further reductions in the EU’s net greenhouse gas emissions by 90% by 2040 relative to 1990. Ecolithic has digital tools for measuring carbon footprints and can help manage all levels of greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, CSRD forces companies to measure their value chain-driven emissions and minimize GHG emissions at all levels.  
Ecolithic’s Carbon Footprint Suite, CBAM Suite, and EU Taxonomy Suite, all supported by EcolithicAI, are helpful in measuring, managing, and minimizing emissions.
Ecolithic develops science-based decarbonization strategies for you, including carbon neutralization and removal solutions. If needed and requested, Ecolithic can calculate carbon or climate risks under double materiality considerations.

Our solutions are broader than carbon neutrality; we support our clients in their climate neutrality and sustainability transformation journeys.

Ecolithic stands by cities in their sustainability journey and offers numerous policies and solutions to accelerate their transformations.

Ecolithic

Sustainability for Cities

Cities and their societies belong to the most important actors in sustainability transformation. SDG 11 focuses on sustainable cities and communities. It is the main pillar of sustainability. The EU is working in four interrelated strands of action as priority areas that Ecolithic can help:
  • Promoting the social dimension of sustainable urban development through inclusive and safe cities.
  • Promoting green and resilient cities.
  • Promoting prosperous and innovative cities.
  • Promoting good urban governance.
We help “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable.”
Ecolithic

Sustainability for Governments

Sustainability entails massive and overarching transformation policies and practices for governments, governmental organizations, and economies. For example, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals address 17 fundamental sustainability fields and 169 sub-goals. The Paris Agreement, a legally binding international treaty on climate change, forces countries and economic regions to hold “the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels” and pursue efforts “to limit the temperature increase to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.” The EU Member States have more challenging targets and duties in sustainability since the EU has the most ambitious sustainability regulations and reforms in the world.  
Sustainability for governments is the broadest service field that should be managed at five levels: global, EU, regional, national, and institutional.
  Ecolithic has strong experience in policy development for governments toward more sustainable economies. Here are some services and products that Ecolithic can deliver:
  • Adaptation to the EU Sustainability Reforms
  • Helping Develop New Sustainability Experts in the Country (Know-How and Expertise Development)
  • Mobilizing Private Sector Organizations toward More Sustainable Business and Finance Activities (Public sector-private sector-university partnerships)
  • Providing Accelerating Technologies in Sustainability and Twin Transformation Solutions
  • Providing Periodic Sustainability Progress Assessments
  • Supporting the Public and Private Sectors in Applying for Sustainability Grants and Funds
  • Developing Financing Strategies to Attract Sustainable Funds Worldwide

Only limited consulting companies worldwide can help develop sustainability policies for governments. Ecolithic belongs to this group.

Ecolithic can help companies to get the benefits of carbon markets in their decarbonization journeys.

Ecolithic

Carbon Markets

Carbon markets are the platforms where carbon credits are bought and sold to reduce carbon emissions systematically. Both companies and individuals can use carbon markets to compensate for their greenhouse gas emissions. The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is an example of carbon markets. Ecolithic believes that carbon markets are great solutions for reducing carbon emissions and letting market actors buy and sell their carbon performance through their carbon reduction policies in a transparent way. Ecolithic can help companies to get the benefits of carbon markets in their decarbonization journeys. Ecolithic can also handle bigger projects, such as establishing carbon markets, which can be voluntary or compliance-based.
Ecolithic

Certification

Sustainability certificates can be issued to products, activities, and individuals when they meet certain credentials. Sustainability certificates are numerous. For example, for companies and organizations to manage their environmental responsibilities, there is the ISO 14000 family.

We either partner with certificate-issuing organizations or help our clients in their application processes.

We either provide verification support or partner with other expert organizations to deliver verification services.

Ecolithic

Verification

Verification in sustainability is helpful to make sure that sustainability claims reflect reality. For example, ISO 16745-2:2017 specifies requirements for the verification of a carbon metric calculation for GHG emissions of an existing building during the use stage, where the carbon metric calculation is performed in accordance with ISO 16745‐1. Carbon neutrality or product carbon footprint allegations should be verified scientifically or professionally. We can provide verification services in sustainability. Most importantly, our sustainability reports and relevant products and services are delivered in a way that their content, data, and methodology can be easily verifiable.
