Team and mission

At AUDITERRA, our story begins in 2017 with a simple but critical observation: there was a growing disconnect between the rigorous methods developed by academic research and the everyday practices commonly used in major project ESIAs and SEAs.

We founded AUDITERRA to bridge that gap — to bring the best of scientific theory into real-world environmental assessment, enabling more informed and responsible decision-making for governments, organizations, and project proponents.

Our mission:

To deliver rigorous and credible environmental assessments by mobilizing top experts and scientists, applying the most advanced methods, and helping our clients make informed, sustainable decisions grounded in the realities of the territories they serve.

What sets AUDITERRA apart is the strength of our multidisciplinary team — experts capable of navigating the full complexity of environmental and social challenges.

Depending on each project’s needs, we enrich our teams with a trusted network of collaborators whose combined expertise covers every dimension of environmental and social assessment.

At the heart of AUDITERRA is a shared commitment to strong human values and a deep belief in sustainable territorial development.

We don’t just talk about sustainability — we make it happen, project by project, decision by decision.
