Some of the institutions we work with
Today, sustainability is a core driver of growth and efficiency for every business. Yet, many organizations grapple with inefficiencies in water and energy management. At Ecophoria, we listen to you… We design a solution, and not simply devise one.
A total solution needs research, experience, thought, sometimes starting over, listening, humility, an open-minded approach, and a constant eye on the reduction of use / abuse of precious natural resources.
Our Green Guides specialize in transforming inefficiencies into opportunities for growth. Whether you’re dealing with outdated energy systems or costly water management practices, we provide actionable solutions to help your organization thrive, reduce costs, and meet global standards like ESG and SDG.
Join the league of visionary organizations that are creating a sustainable future while boosting their bottom line.
Driving Savings for you with better bottom lines
Ecophoria’s current projects alone bring a cumulative water purchase reduction of over 450 million litres/year. Every million litres is 6000 tCO2e/year.
Our solutions generate water without borewells and tankers. Current projects offer such alternate water ranging from 12 million litres/year to 90 million litres/year.
Financial savings for the projects can be from ₹ 1 million to as much as ₹8 million.
The potential is explosive that existing buildings in India offer. The severity of the crisis that every bulk water- and energy-user faces across Medium and Large segments of Industry and the relentless rise in costs of water and energy gives you the opportunity to bring massive savings, while you go eco.
