Ready for 2023?

​

We hope that you are getting to cruise speed for a fantastic year.

Have you set your OKRs (objectives and key results)? We have.

First and foremost, thank you for your support during our uncertain times.

Let us celebrate together some of the achievements of 2022. We thank our clients, collaborators and supporters for making these possible.

And I am grateful to our team, as we did work especially hard. It took us a full year to complete the Greening of the public sector action plan for the Government of Mauritius. We hope to see some of the results in 2023. In addition, we finished a critical study for the AFD to develop a framework to link green finance with sustainable construction. We got to explore the value of green building certifications, bio-sourced materials, alternative construction techniques and ...

Bring on 2022!

We know that there will be numerous challenges ahead. However, we hope that you are as ecstatic as us about what 2022 has in store for us.

We've just finished a year that was full of both challenges and victories. It's reassuring to know that we can rely on all of you no matter what comes our way.

In 2021, we saw the market changing with many organisations integrating sustainability at different levels.
 
Despite being busy with our Living Lab initiative, we have responded positively to support the market in this thrust.
 

UNLOCKING A REGENERATIVE FUTURE

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is a standardised document informing about a product’s potential environmental and human health impact. The general goal is to use verified and accurate information to determine the overall effect of the product on the environment.

​

EPD is a document that is used in many countries to demonstrate performance of a product. It is regarded as a Type III environmental label. EPD are generated through conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); which is performed using a peer-reviewed Product Category Rule (PCR) document. This PCR is in line with EN 15804, ISO 14025 and other related international standards (Designing Buildings Ltd, 2021).

​

Many sustainable building certification schemes have now been developed around the world, and they almost all consider the environmental impact of construction materials, but in widely different ways. However, there are two main mechanisms by  EPD themselves, and the LCA data for construction materials reported in EPD are considered within these schemes (Eco Platform, 2021).

Wow! What a year!

​

While we look back at this special and disruptive year,we acknowledge the many parts that were hard, but wish to celebratewith you the positive bits, our accomplished work.

For us, at Ecosis, we embraced the challenges and went on a self-transformation journey.

As many of you, we have worked harder this year than any other year.During the few months of lockdown, we were juggling between home schooling, baking our own bread, and mainly re-inventing ourselves to adapt. As some of my colleagues admitted, we have never worked so hard.

At least it was not for nothing, and we are grateful that we were able to complete so many things this year.......​
