International standards, reconciled with local law
TECS works to the international standards that lenders, investors, and corporate stakeholders rely on — and reconciles them with local legislation in Central Asia and the Caucasus.
- IFC Performance Standards — the benchmark for environmental and social risk management in private-sector projects.
- EBRD Performance Requirements — applied on projects financed or assessed to EBRD expectations.
- Equator Principles — the risk-management framework adopted by financial institutions for project finance.
- ASTM — including ASTM E1527 for Phase I and Phase II Environmental Site Assessments.
- ISO 14001 / 45001 — environmental management and occupational health & safety management systems.
- Local legislation — every engagement is aligned with the regulatory requirements of the country in which the asset operates.
This combination is the core of our value: findings that satisfy international stakeholders while remaining valid and defensible under local law.
