Team and mission
Founded in 2017, AUDITERRA was established after observing a gap between the rigor of methods developed in academic research and the existing deficiencies in the methods commonly used in project environmental impact studies. By creating AUDITERRA, we aimed to bridge this gap between research and practice in environmental assessment to enable better decision-making.
Our mission is to conduct high-quality environmental assessments incorporating the best scientific and innovative methods, thus promoting informed decision-making among our clients.
AUDITERRA stands out for its multidisciplinary team, capable of managing the complexity of environmental issues. Depending on the nature of the assessments, we complete our teams with our network of collaborators and scientists, whose collective expertise covers all areas related to environmental and social issues.
Our experts and collaborators are united by strong human values that revolve around sustainable development. This commitment is at the core of everything we do, making us a company that not only talks about sustainability but actively works towards it.
