What Ecoterrae does

Ecoterrae Global Solutions, S.L. is a Spanish sustainability and climate consulting firm headquartered in Sevilla, founded in 2012 with 11-50 employees. The firm delivers professional advisory services across carbon footprint calculation (under GHG Protocol, ISO 14064, and ISO 14067), ESG reporting and CSRD compliance, sustainability strategy and climate-risk analysis, carbon credit generation (VERRA, Gold Standard) and compensation, sustainable municipal planning (PACES and PMCC under the Covenant of Mayors and Andalusian Climate Law), and certifications including Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), EcoVadis, and ISCC. Its technical differentiator is an internally owned portfolio of verified carbon credits that enables integrated calculation-to-offset service delivery, supported by methodological depth derived from more than 1,000 GHG emissions inventories managed across 300+ clients over 12 years.

The firm operates a project-based, quote-based professional services revenue model with a sales-led go-to-market approach. It serves a hybrid customer base of Spanish enterprises across diverse sectors — with named logos including Danone, Familia Torres, Cofidis, Grupo Dcoop, China Three Gorges (Europe), Bidafarma, Silbon, Surtruck, and Rosabus — alongside Spanish municipal governments, claiming engagement with more than 100 Ayuntamientos. Demand generation relies on thought-leadership content (blog, weekly newsletter, LinkedIn, Instagram), corporate events such as 'Empresas que Inspiran' and 'Ejes de la Sostenibilidad Global 2025,' and direct outreach. A strategic partnership with event organizer INGEVENTS announced in March 2024 extends commercial reach into the corporate events market for carbon-neutral event services.

Ecoterrae is privately held with no external funding or disclosed investors. It holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and Spain's Esquema Nacional de Seguridad (ENS) certifications, is registered with MITECO's Carbon Footprint Registry, and is a member of the Water Footprint Network. Operations are concentrated in the Spanish domestic market with occasional European engagements (e.g., China Three Gorges Europe), and revenue derives entirely from customized project engagements rather than standardized product or subscription pricing.

Direct peers

• Carbon Trust: UK-based sustainability consultancy advising organizations on carbon footprinting, climate strategy, and certification. Closely comparable to Ecoterrae in scope and client profile, though primarily serving UK and international markets.
• EcoAct: Paris-based climate consultancy (now part of ENGIE Impact) providing carbon footprint, decarbonization strategy, and carbon markets advisory. Direct competitor in the European mid-market sustainability consulting segment with very similar service portfolio to Ecoterrae.
• South Pole: Specialist climate consultancy and carbon credit developer helping companies and cities measure, reduce, and offset emissions. Overlaps with Ecoterrae's carbon markets practice, VERRA/Gold Standard project development, and corporate climate strategy services.
• ERM (Environmental Resources Management): Global pure-play environmental and sustainability consultancy advising corporates on carbon strategy, ESG, and climate risk. Closely aligned with Ecoterrae's full-stack offering (footprint, strategy, reporting, decarbonization), but operating at significantly larger scale across multiple geographies.

Broad incumbents

• Bureau Veritas: International TIC firm offering sustainability, ESG, and carbon services alongside its core certification business. Directly comparable in delivering third-party-verified carbon footprint and ESG reporting services to European enterprises and municipalities.
• DNV: Global assurance and risk management firm with a sizable climate and sustainability services practice, including ISO 14064/14069 verification, GHG inventories, and CSRD assurance. Competes with Ecoterrae on the verification and assurance side of the value chain.
• SGS: Global testing, inspection, and certification giant with a broad sustainability and ESG verification practice. Comparable to Ecoterrae in providing ISO-aligned audits, carbon footprint verification, and ESG assurance to enterprise and public-sector clients, but at vastly larger scale and international reach.
• PwC Sustainability Services: Big Four professional services network with a dedicated sustainability and climate change practice covering CSRD reporting, ESG assurance, and decarbonization strategy. Increasingly competes with mid-sized consultancies like Ecoterrae for enterprise ESG mandates in Spain.

Regional players

• Inclam: Spanish climate change and sustainability consultancy offering carbon footprint, adaptation planning, and climate strategy services to Spanish enterprises and municipalities. Closest regional peer to Ecoterrae, competing directly on the same Iberian client base.
• Climate Neutral Group: European climate consultancy specializing in carbon footprint calculation, reduction roadmaps, and carbon credit procurement. Comparable to Ecoterrae in service mix and SMB/mid-market enterprise focus, primarily serving Benelux and broader European clients.
