Our Services
From BRSR compliance to ecological restoration, every Oikos engagement is grounded in field science and designed to withstand the toughest regulatory and ecological scrutiny.
Our Approach
At Oikos, every service is delivered through a multidisciplinary team comprising environmentalists, ecologists, socio-economists, economists, geologists, sustainability experts, environmental educators, and GIS & remote sensing specialists.
This integrated expertise enables us to provide need-based, scientifically grounded, and practical solutions tailored to diverse project requirements.
Our collaborative approach ensures that all outputs are technically robust, well-informed, and aligned with regulatory frameworks, enabling them to withstand scrutiny from statutory authorities and regulatory bodies.

- ISO 14064
BRSR reporting is becoming increasingly rigorous, with mandatory assurance requirements expanding across listed companies in India. Oikos supports organisations in building sustainability disclosures that combine ecological field expertise with structured reporting, helping companies strengthen biodiversity disclosures, emissions reporting, ESG data systems, and assurance readiness.
What we support
- BRSR gap assessments and readiness reviews
- Biodiversity and nature-related disclosures
- Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions reporting
- TNFD-aligned nature risk identification
- ESG data collection systems and KPI frameworks
- Assurance-ready reporting support
Biodiversity Assessment, Wildlife Conservation and Management
Field-verified ecological baselines and wildlife plans that support clearances, disclosures, and restoration programmes.
Frameworks
- EIA Notification 2006
- WPA 1972 (incl. Schedule I)
- Biological Diversity Act 2002
- IUCN
- CBD
- TNFD
- NBWL Guidelines
- MoEFCC EC Conditions
- ESG Biodiversity Standards
Biodiversity assessments form the ecological foundation of environmental clearances, wildlife conservation plans, BRSR disclosures, and restoration programmes. Oikos conducts field-based assessments across forests, drylands, wetlands, mining areas, and infrastructure corridors, combining ecological surveys, GIS mapping, habitat evaluation, and conservation planning tailored to the specific landscape and regulatory context.
For projects impacting Schedule I species or wildlife-sensitive landscapes, Oikos prepares Wildlife Conservation and Management Plans built on primary field surveys, corridor analysis, species-specific mitigation planning, wildlife and community coexistence strategies, and long-term monitoring frameworks — every plan designed to withstand review by NBWL, MoEFCC, and NGT.
What we support
- Biodiversity baseline studies and flora and fauna surveys across all taxa
- Habitat mapping and GIS analysis
- Key Biodiversity Area identification and ecosystem service assessments
- Wildlife Conservation and Management Plans (WCMPs)
- Camera trap and field-based wildlife surveys
- Species-specific mitigation planning and corridor connectivity assessments
- Site-specific conservation planning and long-term monitoring frameworks
Natural Resource Management and Ecological Restoration
Restoration designed as ecosystem rebuilding, not plantation activity.
Frameworks
- Forest Conservation Act 1980
- MoEFCC Green Belt Guidelines
- SER Principles
- UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration
At Oikos, restoration means rebuilding functioning ecosystems, not planting rows of fast-growing exotics. We design restoration programmes using native species, ecological succession principles, and landscape-specific planning. Our work spans mined-out land recovery, green belt development, soil and moisture conservation, and native ecosystem restoration across India's dry, forest, and wetland landscapes.
What we support
- Ecological restoration planning
- Native species selection and sourcing
- Green belt development
- Soil and moisture conservation plans
- Restoration monitoring and adaptive management
- Mine reclamation and degraded land recovery
Climate Change and Carbon Studies
GHG accounting and carbon science, combined in one integrated practice.
Frameworks
- GHG Protocol
- ISO 14064
- IPCC Guidelines
- BRSR Core
- Science Based Targets initiative
Oikos supports organisations in understanding and documenting greenhouse gas emissions, climate risks, and carbon sequestration potential. Our approach combines technical GHG accounting with ecological expertise, allowing us to assess both operational emissions and landscape-based carbon storage opportunities. This dual lens is particularly valuable for industries with large land footprints.
What we support
- Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG inventorisation
- Carbon footprint assessments
- Carbon sequestration studies
- Climate risk assessments
- BRSR-aligned emissions reporting
- ISO 14064 support and verification readiness
Environmental and Socio-Economic Impact Assessments
Integrated assessments that connect ecological science, regulatory compliance, and community impact.
Frameworks
- EIA Notification 2006
- Environment Protection Act 1986
- Forest Rights Act 2006
- WPA 1972
- CRZ Notification
Environmental and social impacts are deeply interconnected. Oikos conducts integrated impact assessments that combine ecological science, regulatory understanding, and socio-economic analysis. Our assessments are built to support Environmental Clearance processes while addressing the long-term ecological and community considerations that regulators and affected communities care most about.
What we support
- Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA)
- Social Impact Assessments (SIA)
- Environmental Management Plans (EMP)
- Forest Rights Act facilitation and documentation
- Community and livelihood assessments
- Integrated ecological and social baseline studies
Geospatial Applications in Resource Management
Spatial analysis that makes environmental data defensible, not just visible.
Frameworks
- MoEFCC GIS Requirements

- NBWL Spatial Submission Requirements
- BRSR Spatial Disclosure
Geospatial analysis plays a critical role in environmental planning and regulatory compliance. Oikos integrates GIS and remote sensing into biodiversity assessments, corridor mapping, restoration planning, and environmental monitoring. Our spatial analysis supports assessments that are both scientifically grounded and regulatorily defensible across EC, FC, WCMP, and BRSR requirements.
What we support
- GIS mapping and spatial analysis
- Habitat and corridor mapping
- Remote sensing applications
- Environmental monitoring systems
