Ases

What Ases does

ASES is a Chihuahua, Mexico-based environmental services firm founded in 2002/2003 that operates as an integrated ecological engineering ecosystem serving infrastructure developers, energy companies, utilities, governments, and large consumer brands. Its work spans the full compliance and sustainability lifecycle: pre-authorization environmental studies (MIA, ETJ, CUS, due diligence), field execution of flora and fauna rescue operations, reforestation and 5-year maintenance programs (with mandated 80% flora and 85% reforestation survival rates), environmental supervision, biodiversity and bird/bat monitoring, climate adaptation diagnostics (ClimAdaptación), ESG and double materiality reporting aligned to CSRD/TNFD/ESRS/SBTi, and intermediation of verified carbon, biodiversity, water, and soil credits. All engagements are anchored to the company's ERRC sequence (Avoid, Reduce, Restore, Compensate) applied across project phases.

The technical backbone consists of proprietary geospatial and ecological tools: the ATBX open-source toolbox (40+ ecological engineering protocols under CC-BY-4.0), TLALOC for downscaling global climate datasets, Climflora for species distribution and crop yield modeling, SADRE — a spatial decision support system using 35+ variables for photovoltaic and wind site selection — and Biosound BSRM, a connected ecoacoustic recorder for wildlife inventories. ASES also co-developed the aOCP international standard with NAT5 for issuing nature-based solution credits, and operates a low-tech biochar kiln hardware and training program whose credits are certified under aOCP. Dozens of peer-reviewed publications in ecological engineering, climate, and geographic modeling underpin the methodology.

Commercially, ASES is a sales-led, project-based professional services firm. Primary revenue comes from quote-based environmental consulting contracts (proposals delivered within 48 hours of request, often preceded by free expert coaching sessions as lead qualification). Secondary revenue streams include transaction/intermediation fees on carbon and biodiversity credit advisory; hardware sales of certified biochar kilns bundled with training and certification; and course enrollment fees from the ASES Learning e-learning platform. Customers include Enel Green Power Mexico (multi-project wind/solar environmental programs), SEMPRA Infraestructura (Strategic Partner 2024, PIMA Solar), E.Leclerc Aubenas (France, with Life Terra), ADEME (French climate policy work), Silverstone Circuit (UK biodiversity audit), UPS (Chihuahua reforestation), and Municipio de Chihuahua, with operations primarily in Mexico and select projects in Europe.
