VURDHAAN

VURDHAAN is a consulting firm that focuses on transport sustainability. It works with airlines, ship owners and managers, and road freight operators. The firm says it differs from broad consultancies because it concentrates on one field. Its offices are in Albany in the United States, London, Melbourne and Mohali in India.

The firm helps clients make sustainability decisions that make commercial sense. Its work combines strategy, market tools such as Book and Claim, sustainable finance and lifecycle analysis. It backs this with MRV, which means measuring, reporting and verifying emissions, and with evidence that is ready for compliance checks.

For aviation, the website lists CORSIA and the EU Emissions Trading System. CORSIA is the global carbon scheme for international flights. The firm also lists SAF strategy, which covers sustainable aviation fuel, and feedstock buying and supply. It offers lifecycle assessment for biofuel feedstocks and fleet pathways, using well to tank and well to wake methods.

Other services include ESG reporting under IFRS S1 and S2 and ESRS standards, and work on the ISO 14083 standard for transport emissions. Book and Claim help covers governance, documents and audit trails for low-carbon claims. Sustainable finance support covers investment cases and metrics that stand up to review, including capital and operating cost trade-offs.

Client comments on the site come from a global agricultural science company, a large international airline and a major national airline. One airline team says it received help with a response to a ReFuelEU non-compliance matter. A SAF researcher also recommends the team.

The about page lists signs of fast change in transport. It notes that transport is about one-quarter of energy-related carbon dioxide. It also points to the CORSIA phases and to maritime rules such as FuelEU Maritime. It says evidence and traceability are becoming deal requirements for low-carbon fuel claims.

The website has pages on its specialties, insights, team and contact details. Visitors can send an enquiry that outlines their decision, reporting need or project.
