Research
We take pride in our expertise to provide deep research for organisations, industry and markets. We believe that research forms the backbone of driving change at the micro to macro levels.
This is why we don’t club research with our other services and we don’t want you to either. Research is the basis of change that needs to be made, whether we know it or not. With our deep research intelligence, with equal weightage to quantitative and qualitative research, we strive to deliver on all aspects covering business intelligence to environmental and social impact assessments.
Business and Impact Intelligence
We undertake comprehensive studies, gathering data, conducting stakeholder interviews and mapping against global best practices, engaging in in-depth analyses to identify actions, impact and efforts across a robust list of key performance indicators. Our implemented methodology yields a comprehensive ranking of the most sustainable companies in geographies.

IPC
Sustain Labs Paris conducted an independent assurance and verification of IPC Systems’ GHG emissions inventories for 2022 and 2023, ensuring compliance with the GHG Protocol and international standards while aligning with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Through this assessment, Sustain Labs Paris also identified key areas for improvement and provided strategic recommendations to enhance the completeness, accuracy and validation readiness of the emissions data as a way forward.
Pepsico
Sustain Labs Paris is working closely with PepsiCo, a multinational food, snack, and beverage company, to conduct a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment for understanding the environmental impact of the equipment used in PepsiCo's operations. By examining the life cycle, Sustain Labs Paris is helping PepsiCo in identifying refined pathways where sustainability efforts and efficiencies can be maximised for product improvement and better decision making towards environmental stewardship.
String Bio
Sustain Labs Paris worked closely with String Bio, a biotechnology firm based in India, to evaluate the environmental impact caused by one of its products, a nutrient-dense, high-quality protein feed source. Sustain Labs Paris obtained relevant life-cycle data from across its business and computed the impact according to 6 different categories as per the Product Environmental Footprint Category Rules. Sustain Labs Paris also ran a series of simulations for Life Cycle Assessment study. As a result, String Bio was able to arrive at a product process with the lowest emissions, resulting in the least environmental impact.
Technical reports
We offer organisations several technical reports related to sustainability, depending on the need of the organisation.
While the reports are confidential, here are some of the clients for whom Sustain Labs Paris has provided technical services.
Environment & social impact assessments
We conduct third-party environmental and social assessments for projects and companies. Environmental and social impact assessments identify risk, provide recommendations, and certification of results.
