Ecosis

What Ecosis does

Ecosis Ltd is a Mauritius-headquartered sustainable development consultancy founded in 2007 that delivers advisory services across green building certification, smart city strategy, sustainable community development, and social impact assessment. The firm primarily serves government and enterprise clients in Mauritius, with the Government of Mauritius as its anchor customer and visible case studies extending to the private sector such as Cascavelle Hospital and Pierre et Vacances Residences. Its service portfolio combines technical certification work using EDGE and LEED frameworks with policy and code development, including long-running advocacy for an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Building Code (EECBC) since 2010 and co-drafting of the Africa Manifesto for Sustainable Cities.

The technology portfolio consists of three digital products: anAngel, a community-oriented platform prototyped in South Africa and India for purpose-driven stakeholders; impactors.io, a social network for Indian Ocean region innovators; and SGX ESGenome, an ESG disclosure solution under feasibility study for the Mauritius Stock Exchange's SEMSI. Ecosis also applies blockchain technology within its sustainability projects and participates in U4SSC (United for Smart Sustainable Cities) workstreams including Metaverse-related initiatives. Team credentials include LEED AP BD+C certification, and the firm contributes as thought leaders at international forums such as Africa Tech, Africa Climate Week, COP28, and the WorldGBC Congress.

Ecosis operates a project-based professional services model, monetizing through consultancy contracts, certification services, policy advisory work, and platform prototyping commissions. The go-to-market relies on direct engagement anchored by thought leadership at international conferences, co-drafting of policy documents, and a dense network of institutional partners that includes the World Bank IFC (including MAGIC and AFR100), U4SSC, AFD (Agence Française de Développement), the African Union, UN SE4ALL, the Clinton Global Initiative, and the G17Eco Institute, which the firm uses to bridge international sustainability initiatives into Mauritian policy and project delivery.
