Why we built Ecopshub

The gap wasn't a strategy problem. It was an operational one.

We spent years watching enterprises invest in ESG strategy without the infrastructure to execute it. Beautifully written frameworks. Unimplemented roadmaps. Data trapped in spreadsheets.

So we built Ecopshub โ€” a platform that operationalizes our consulting methodology, captures data at source, tracks performance in real time, and helps enterprises govern ESG as a permanent operational discipline โ€” not a reporting exercise.

Ecopshub reflects everything we've learned from 250+ Project deployments across 8 countries in Operational excellence & Sustainability Consulting. It is the platform we wished we had from the beginning.

Consulting + Platform

Two capabilities. One integrated system.

Gazelles provides the strategic and advisory layer. Ecopshub provides the operational and data layer. Together, they eliminate the gap between ESG and Operational Excellence strategy and ESG and Operational Excellence execution.

Advisory layer

The human layer โ€” strategy, change management, expert facilitation, sector knowledge, and ongoing advisory support throughout your ESG journey.

Diagnose

Baseline ESG maturity, data gaps, and framework scope through structured discovery workshops.

Design

Co-create the roadmap, governance model, KPI architecture, and implementation phasing.

Transform

Deploy change programs โ€” processes, controls, and cultural shifts โ€” with embedded advisory support.

Implement

Configure Ecopshub, integrate data sources, onboard teams, and run the first reporting cycle.

Govern

Establish permanent governance, escalation paths, and assurance protocols for sustained performance.

Platform layer

The digital layer โ€” data capture, performance tracking, framework reporting, continuous improvement loops, and permanent governance at scale.

Capture

Collect ESG data from sites, systems, and supply chains through configurable collection workflows.

Track

Monitor KPIs against targets in real time, with automated alerts and variance dashboards.

Report

Generate framework-ready disclosures โ€” ESRS, BRSR, GRI, CDP โ€” with iXBRL tagging and audit trails.

Improve

Identify performance gaps, run scenario models, and prioritise decarbonization and efficiency initiatives.

Sustain

Govern programs with approval workflows, role-based access, and continuous data quality monitoring.

Better together by design

Ecopshub is not an off-the-shelf platform with a consulting add-on. It is the operational expression of the Gazelles methodology โ€” built to run ESG programs the way our consultants run them in the field.

What we stand for

Vision, Mission & Values

Vision
"A world where enterprise operational excellence and sustainability performance are indistinguishable โ€” because they are measured, governed, and improved by the same system."
Mission
"To give every enterprise the consulting expertise and digital infrastructure they need to move from ESG ambition to sustained ESG execution โ€” measurably, efficiently, and permanently."
Our operating principles

Outcomes, not outputs

We're not engaged to deliver reports โ€” we're engaged to deliver measurable change. Every program is structured around impact milestones, not deliverable lists.

Consulting + platform, unified

Ecopshub is built into our methodology from day one โ€” not bolted on. Platform and advisory work together, throughout every engagement.

Sector fluency

We assign teams with genuine vertical expertise. An energy engagement is led by energy specialists. A manufacturing program runs with manufacturing practitioners.

Data discipline

Everything in Ecopshub is traceable to source. ESG credentials that can't be audited are liabilities, not assets โ€” so we build with assurance-readiness from the start.

Build internal capability

Our model transfers knowledge, not creates dependency. Every engagement includes training, documentation, and governance design so clients sustain programs independently.

Long-term orientation

The best ESG programs run on decades-long timeframes. We design for permanence โ€” governance structures, data architecture, and team capability that outlast the engagement.

Why choose us

What makes the combination uniquely powerful

Most enterprises choose either a consulting firm or a software platform. We built both โ€” integrated from the ground up โ€” so neither ever contradicts the other.

Methodology embedded in platform

Ecopshub doesn't just support your ESG program โ€” it operationalizes the Gazelles consulting methodology. Every workflow reflects 250+ real enterprise engagements.

Framework-native, not framework-agnostic

Purpose-built for CSRD/ESRS, BRSR, GHG Protocol, IFRS S1/S2, GRI and CDP โ€” with each framework pre-mapped to data points, not patched on after the fact.

Assurance-ready from day one

Every data point in Ecopshub carries a source, approver, timestamp and calculation methodology โ€” so your data is limited-assurance-ready before the auditors arrive.

Global reach, local depth

Deployed in 8+ countries, Ecopshub handles multi-currency, multi-language, and multi-regulatory environments with a single consolidated data model.

Gazelles didn't just deliver a report and leave. They embedded their consultants, configured Ecopshub around our exact data structure, and stayed until we could run the program ourselves. That's a different category of engagement.
