ESG Consulting · Govern
We assess the environmental impacts of sites and projects across emissions, water, waste, land and biodiversity, and set out the mitigation and monitoring that follow. The work starts from a documented baseline and applies clear significance criteria, so attention goes to effects that genuinely matter rather than to everything equally. We apply the mitigation hierarchy in order — avoid, reduce, and only then compensate — because compensation for an impact that could have been avoided rarely satisfies a regulator or a community. Where statutory sign-off requires accredited specialists or laboratories, we coordinate with them and are clear about the accreditations we do not hold ourselves.
In short
Environmental impact assessment evaluates the environmental effects of operations or projects and the measures to mitigate them. A sound assessment establishes the baseline first, so that significance can be judged against conditions as they actually are.
Start a conversationWhat we do
We establish baseline environmental conditions and screen for the effects likely to be significant. A documented baseline is what later lets an actual impact be distinguished from normal variation, and it is the first thing a regulator asks to see.
We assess air, water, waste, noise, land and biodiversity effects against defined significance criteria. Judging each effect by a consistent standard is what keeps the assessment proportionate rather than either alarmist or dismissive.
We apply the mitigation hierarchy in order, avoiding and reducing impacts before considering compensation for what genuinely cannot be avoided. Following the hierarchy honestly is what makes a mitigation plan credible to regulators and affected communities alike.
We define the monitoring, reporting and permit obligations that apply once the project is operating. Setting out how compliance will be evidenced after implementation is what stops an assessment becoming a document that is filed and forgotten.

When this work helps
How an engagement runs
Understand your sector, stakeholders, existing commitments, and the requests you are receiving. We establish who is asking you for ESG information and what you have already committed to publicly, so the work answers real pressure rather than a generic checklist.
Review material topics, current data, governance, and the gap to the reporting you need to produce. We report plainly where your current numbers would not withstand scrutiny and what it would take to close the gap.
Define metrics, ownership, data flows, controls, and a reporting approach you can repeat. The design fixes how each number is produced and who owns it, so reporting becomes a repeatable process rather than an annual scramble.
Implement the measurement and governance changes, and review disclosures against the evidence. We test every public claim against its source before publication, so what you disclose is what you can defend.
Where we work
Fidova provides ESG consulting from Delhi, India, and works with organisations internationally, including those reporting under global frameworks and responding to customer, investor, and supply chain requirements from other markets.
Engagements run in English, are scheduled around your time zone, and can be delivered remotely end to end, with on-site time planned where a phase genuinely benefits from being in the room.

Energy and resource efficiency work reduces energy, water and material use through measured, prioritised interventions. The discipline that sets it apart is verifying savings after the fact, not assuming the estimate held.
Sustainable supply chain management sets and verifies environmental and social expectations across your suppliers. The test of such a programme is whether the expectations are verified in practice, not whether a code of conduct has been signed.
Social impact assessment evaluates effects on workers, communities and other stakeholders, and the measures that address them. An assessment made without talking to the people affected is routinely wrong, so engagement sits at its core.
