Monitoring & Assurance

 

There is an increased interest in sustainable landuse and conservation initiatives, especially those that combine an environmental and financial perspective. Whether the goal is financial valuation (returns of sustainably cultivated forest), valuation for compensation (the amount of carbon dioxide actually and durably removed from the atmosphere and stored) or ecological valuation (presence and conservation of certain (crucial) species), there is a need for:

  • Reliable data on existing resources
  • Knowledge on how these resources develop over time
  • Reliable reference data on carbon sequestration potential 
  • Ecological value attached to a certain area.
 

Thauris Environmental Services works on the development of monitoring- and assurance platforms for sustainable production chains (such as forestry and agriculture) and nature management initiatives. Such a platform provides an infrastructure for data analysis and validation assessment (incorporating remote sensing reality checks)  based on key performance indicators and pre-defined accountancy- (IFRS, GAAP, COSO, XBRL), business- (TQM, ERP), sustainability- (FSC, PEFC) and carbon (VCS, CDM) standards.  The combination of remote reality checks with automated control processes within this infrastructure provide a reliable, timely and accessible source of information for public and private regulators and thereby simplifies their audit and assurance processes. 

 

The assurance platform provides benefits to different stakeholders in sustainable land use initiatives:
