ESG Consulting · Govern
We build supplier sustainability programmes that are proportionate and verifiable, grounded in tiering, standards, data collection and engagement rather than codes of conduct nobody reads. Effort is directed by spend, risk and the leverage you actually hold, because blanket demands on every supplier tend to produce paperwork rather than change. We collect data in proportion to each tier and verify the highest-risk suppliers, and we favour working with suppliers on improvement over delisting as the first response. The result is a programme that improves the information behind your scope 3 and social claims and can be defended to customers who ask.
In short
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.
Start a conversationWhat we do
We tier suppliers by spend, risk and the influence you hold, so effort concentrates where it can actually change something. Segmentation is what keeps a programme from spreading thinly across hundreds of suppliers and achieving nothing with any of them.
We set expectations you can genuinely verify and reference them in contracts, so they carry weight. Terms you can evidence and enforce are worth more than an ambitious code that sits unread in a supplier's files.
We collect supplier data in proportion to each tier and verify the highest-risk suppliers rather than trusting self-declaration alone. Proportionate verification is what lets you rely on the data for your own disclosures without burdening suppliers who pose little risk.
We work with suppliers on improvement through a defined corrective-action process, keeping delisting as a last resort. Engagement usually fixes the underlying issue, whereas delisting simply moves the problem to a supplier you can no longer see.

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.

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.
Diversity and inclusion advisory uses workforce data and process review to identify where practice, not intent, produces unequal outcomes. It treats divergent outcomes as a question about process design, not about the goodwill of individuals.
Corporate governance advisory strengthens board effectiveness, decision rights, policies and disclosure quality. Its measure is the quality of the decisions the board actually makes, not the thickness of the papers it receives.
