How we work
Credible assessment can’t be done from behind a desk. TECS works on the ground — seeing the real conditions firsthand and measuring them against both international standards and local law — so every finding we deliver is independent, accurate, and ready to act on.
On the ground, not at a distance
- Real site visits and condition assessments — not desk reviews.
- Findings reconciled with both local law and international standards.
- Independent, impartial reporting you can act on.
International standards, locally grounded
- IFC Performance Standards and EBRD Performance Requirements.
- Equator Principles 4 (EP4) for project finance.
- ASTM E1527 site assessments and ISO 14001 / 45001.
“For more than 15 years, my work has come down to one thing: giving clients an honest picture of the real conditions on the ground — and the standards to measure them against.”
