As we reflect on 2025, we are proud to share yet another year of meaningful progress and impactful partnerships. Our work continues to be grounded in the belief that sustainable development must be inclusive, innovative, and rooted in collaboration across sectors and communities.

One of our flagship assignments this year was the development of a comprehensive Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) framework for the Government of Mauritius, with a dedicated focus on the construction sector. This framework, designed to embed sustainability across the procurement lifecycle, is a foundational step toward a greener public sector.

​

In parallel, we contributed to the creation of Sustainable Construction Guidelines, setting robust evaluation criteria to guide public procurement in the built environment. These criteria are poised to accelerate the transition toward low-impact, high-performance infrastructure across the country.

Another landmark achievement was the delivery of the Net Zero Roadmap for the Built Environment, which received commendation from the Interministerial Committee on Climate Change. This national strategy is particularly notable for its bottom-up development process, with contributions from a diverse array of stakeholders. Ecosis was honoured to facilitate this inclusive journey, initiated by the Green Building Council of Mauritius.

​

We also continued to provide green building consultancy services, applying internationally recognised tools such as EDGE and LEED to support sustainable project design and certification. Among the standout projects were the Cascavelle Hospital and the Pierre et Vacances Residences, both of which are now aligned with best-in-class sustainability benchmarks.

On the legislative advocacy front, we renewed our longstanding commitment to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Building Code, continuing the work we began in 2010 and revisited in 2015. We remain steadfast in pushing for its enactment, seeing it as a vital lever for reducing emissions and improving building performance.

​

We are also enthusiastic about future collaboration with the new Government of Mauritius, following recent political changes. We believe our experience and insights will support the continuity and evolution of national sustainability agendas.

​

Our appointment to the Integrated Waste Processing Facility project in 2024 has matured into an exciting initiative involving household-level waste separation, collection, and recycling—marking a significant step toward a circular economy in Mauritius.

​

On the innovation and philanthropy front, we are excited to report that anAngel, the no.1 platform for doing good, has been successfully prototyped in South Africa and India. This milestone brings us closer to enabling purpose-driven communities worldwide. Meanwhile, www.impactors.io, our dedicated social network for innovators in the Indian Ocean region, is nurturing the next generation of changemakers across borders.....

​

​

As we conclude yet another transformative year, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your unwavering support and partnership. With immense satisfaction and enthusiasm, we share the highlights of our journey together in 2024.

​

Throughout this year, amidst global challenges and opportunities, we remained focused on our commitment to driving sustainable change and co-creating a world where environmental stewardship and social responsibility flourish. With your support, we set ambitious objectives to guide our efforts, and we are delighted to report significant progress on various fronts.

​

Among our most notable accomplishments in 2024 was the successful execution of several impactful projects. We continued our collaboration with the Government of Mauritius, advancing the Greening of the public sector action plan with tangible results beginning to emerge. Additionally, our assignment for AFD produced groundbreaking insights into the intersection of green finance and sustainable construction, laying the groundwork for innovative solutions and best practices in the field.

​

On the global stage, our contributions to the advancement of sustainable development were acknowledged and celebrated. After co-drafting the "Africa Manifesto for Sustainable Cities and the Built Environment", we have participated in formulating the “Global Policy Guidelines for a Sustainable Built Environment”. Furthermore, our work at U4SSC continues, focusing on the Metaverse.

​

We firm up our position as thought leaders not only in the field of sustainable development but also in the convergence of technology and sustainability. Our colleagues moderated and participated in several panels at key events such as Africa Tech, Africa Climate Week, and COP28.

​

At these events, we have made bridges between key organisations such as the African Union, World Bank IFC, UN SE4ALL with our Government. It gave rise to the potential projects. AFR100, Ecofridge, IFC MAGIC to name a few.

​

As members of the G17Eco Institute standards council, we continued to advocate for transparency and accountability in corporate sustainability practices. We are thrilled to see that our solution, SGX ESGenome has been embraced by its community. As it sets a new benchmark for ESG disclosure and reporting worldwide, we are doing a feasibility study for the Mauritius stock exchange - SEMSI....

UNLOCKING A REGENERATIVE FUTURE

Ecosis joins the 100 pioneering changemaker businesses as founding member of the Postitive movement. It confirms Ecosis’ dedication about making positive change toward a sustainable future and empowering clients to overcome the obstacles and build on opportunities associated with sustainable growth.  

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).

​

The world is facing unprecedented challenges that require urgent and collective action from all sectors of society. Climate change, wars, poverty, inequality, pandemics, and cyberattacks are some of the global risks that threaten our future and demand our attention. 

​

We cannot afford to be complacent or indifferent to these issues. We need to act now and act together to make the world a better place for ourselves and future generations. Corporates, governments, development institutions and NGOs have a vital role to play in addressing these challenges and finding sustainable solutions. You have the resources, the influence, and the responsibility to make a positive difference in the world.

​

You can leverage data, innovation, collaboration, and leadership to tackle the root causes and the consequences of these problems. They can also inspire and empower others to join them in this noble mission. The time to act is now. The world needs us. Contact us today so we can collaborate to co-create the World we want.
