§ 01 · Group Structure
Three capabilities.
One professional foundation.
Each business is a distinct, working practice. Together they give the group a combination few specialist consultancies can offer: institutional heritage, international reach, and technical carbon depth.

Read more§ 02 · How the group is put together
A carbon practice with a tax firm behind it.
EcoSetu sits inside the trade business, because that is where the export exposure lives. It reports into the advisory practice, because that is where the evidentiary standard lives. Both lines matter.

§ 03 · Heritage
Built on three decades of professional trust.
Keprin Consultancy is a tax practice. For three decades it has advised businesses through assessments, appeals, indirect-tax disputes and the corporate structuring that sits alongside them: the unglamorous, exacting work of getting a number to survive scrutiny.
That discipline is the reason the group is credible in carbon. A CBAM evidence pack and a tax assessment file are the same problem wearing different clothes: every figure traceable to a source, every assumption stated, every boundary defensible when somebody hostile reads it.
Leadership & Group History“Institutional depth on one side. Technical carbon fluency on the other. That combination is the whole point.”
§ 04 · Flagship Practice
Cement is entering a carbon-priced global market.
EcoSetu helps cement producers calculate defensible embedded emissions, prepare the evidence an accredited verifier expects, and give European buyers a number they can actually rely on.
Grey clinker route: where the emissions actually areFig. 01
The obligation is phased, not distant.
The share of embedded emissions requiring surrendered certificates climbs from a low single-digit start to full coverage. The cost of not knowing your number compounds.
Silence is expensive.
When a producer supplies no data, the importer defaults to the EU value, set deliberately above plant-level reality, and marked up further each year.

Default + mark-up1.73
Escalating penalty applied to defaults
Verified plant figure0.87
Calculated from actual installation data
Default values are set deliberately above typical plant-level performance, and carry an escalating mark-up. The gap between the default and a defensible plant figure is the commercial value of measuring properly. Plant figure shown is illustrative.
§ 05 · Method in practice
What a reconstruction actually looks like.
Five worked assessments, published in full: the boundary decisions, the data-quality findings, the arithmetic, and where the reported figure moved once it was rebuilt properly.
