India's first
one-stop sustainability
experts.
Sustainability in India was sold in silos: one firm for solar, another for waste, a third for the paperwork. Since 2016, GreenSutra® has been India's first one-stop sustainability practice, running all three under one roof: solar and renewables designed and built, waste recycled and recovered, and the full reporting stack (BRSR, ESG, carbon footprint, CBAM). Indian-origin, with delivery across India and international markets, for households, SMBs and listed enterprises.
GreenSutra exists for one reason: to slow the damage being done to the environment, and to help reverse what has already been done, for households, businesses and listed enterprises that want to act, not just report.
The work is hands-on: solar installations engineered and commissioned, recycling and material-recovery streams operated, methods researched in-house, and disclosures filed to Indian and global frameworks. Across 200+ clients since 2016, that is what one-stop has meant in practice.
That mission resolves, day to day, into datasheets, BOQs, filings, and assurance-ready statements, produced by hand, on real sites, against real frameworks: GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, BRSR, CPCB EPR.
One cadence.
Three procedures.
Every engagement moves through the same four beats — intake, execute, verify, close. But a 220 kWp PV array, a BRSR Core filing and a zero-to-landfill programme are not the same work, so the procedure inside each beat differs by vertical. We still tell you which beat you're in, every week.
Boundary, materiality & data inventory — fixed in writing before we measure.
Site, resource & structural study; system sizing and single-line design.
Stream characterisation + source-segregation plan, by waste category.
Scope 1/2/3 activity data vs verified emission factors (ISO 14064, GHG Protocol), fully traceable.
Tier-1 kit to IS/IEC; install with staged quality-assurance checkpoints.
Collect, sort and recover — recycle, upcycle or reuse each stream.
Drafted to regulator format — BRSR, CBAM, CSRD — PDF + XBRL where required.
DISCOM grid-sync, performance-ratio test & statutory safety sign-off.
Routed to authorised recyclers with a logged chain-of-custody.
Third-party limited or reasonable assurance, auditor in from week one.
Monitoring portal, warranty & a scheduled operations-and-maintenance plan.
Diversion reporting + EPR-credit reconciliation filed to CPCB/SPCB.
Our Journal.
Longer reads on the regulation, science, and design behind the work: BRSR and ESG reporting, carbon and GHG accounting, EPR and waste, CBAM and EUDR for exporters. Written for the practitioner who already knows the basics; each piece links to the service it sits behind.

Q · 02CBAMHow is SEFA calculated with default values instead of actual data?
When default values stand in for actual emissions data, SEFA is taken from predefined default CBAM benchmarks matched to the same production routes and precursor assumptions…
Q · 03CBAMWhy do importers pay only 2.5 per cent of CBAM emissions in 2026?
Importers pay about 2.5 per cent of CBAM emissions in 2026 because EU producers still retain 97.5 per cent of their EU ETS free allocation, and…
Q · 04CBAMHow is the CBAM free allocation adjustment calculated?
The free allocation adjustment for a good equals its specific embedded free allocation for the year multiplied by the total mass imported during the reporting year…
Q · 05CBAMWhat is SEFA in CBAM?
SEFA, the specific embedded free allocation, is the free allocation embedded in one tonne of a CBAM good, expressed in t CO2e per tonne. Implementing Regulation…
Q · 06CBAMWhen does the CBAM Registry open for verifiers?
The CBAM Registry opens for verifier registration on 1 September 2026 under Regulation (EU) 2025/2083. A separate step follows: the accredited verifier applies for registry access…
