Sustainability Strategy for Transport Operators
Turn sustainability into a board-ready strategy that stands up to regulation, finance, and operations.
VURDHAAN helps aviation, marine, and road operators build credible targets, fuel & fleet pathways, and governance that decision-makers can implement — and auditors can follow.
- Aligned to recognized frameworks (GHG Protocol, SBTi, ISSB/CSRD where relevant)
- Designed to reduce compliance risk and capital misallocation
- Built for real-world constraints: SAF/biofuel availability, ship/aircraft cycles, depot charging, port/airport infrastructure
After you reach out, we’ll confirm your context (fleet, routes, fuel, reporting scope) and propose a practical engagement plan.
What you get
A strategy that connects executive ambition to operational delivery.
EU fuel mandates start in 2025 for aviation and maritime, and IMO/ICAO pathways set the long game. We translate these into operator actions.
No forms. Just a direct conversation about your fleet, fuels, and regulatory exposure.
The challenge: sustainability is now a commercial constraint
Operators are being asked to commit to net-zero while navigating fuel availability, asset lifecycles, and fast-moving disclosure rules.
Problem
Targets exist — but they don’t connect to fleet plans, fuel contracts, or capex gates.
Impact
Misallocated investment, higher compliance risk, and credibility gaps with investors, customers, and regulators.
Solution
A strategy that is measurable, finance-ready, and built around how operators actually deliver change.
Our approach: strategy that survives contact with operations
We combine executive alignment with technical feasibility — then build a roadmap your teams can run.
-
Materiality & benchmarking
Identify what matters to stakeholders and how peers are setting targets across aviation, marine, and road.
-
Targets, boundaries & KPIs
Define measurable goals (Scopes 1–3 as relevant) and KPIs your business can actually track.
-
Fuel & fleet pathway design
Translate ambition into SAF/biofuel integration, fleet renewal, operational measures, and infrastructure needs.
-
Financial integration & governance
Build business cases, capex sequencing, steering structures, and decision cadence.
-
Disclosure-ready narrative
Package the strategy into a credible, auditable story aligned with common disclosure expectations.
Services built for transport operators
Outcome-driven support across aviation, marine, and road — from strategy to implementable roadmaps.
Materiality & stakeholder alignment
Focus leadership on the sustainability topics that drive risk, revenue, and license to operate.
- Clear priorities and decision criteria
- Reduced internal friction across teams
Targets, KPIs & pathways
Set credible goals linked to the levers you can control (fleet, fuel, operations, procurement).
- Boundaries that withstand scrutiny
- KPIs designed for ongoing tracking
SAF / biofuel integration strategy
Design a practical fuel plan: sourcing options, claims approach, operational implications, and timing.
- Better contracting and procurement clarity
- More credible emissions outcomes
Fleet renewal & technology roadmap
Align asset cycles with decarbonisation: aircraft/ship efficiency, retrofits, EV transitions, infrastructure.
- Capex sequencing that reduces lock-in
- Operational feasibility built in
Compliance & reporting readiness
Prepare your strategy to support disclosures and audits across key frameworks and jurisdictions.
- Audit-friendly data model inputs
- Lower disclosure and credibility risk
Governance, culture & delivery support
Turn strategy into execution: ownership, incentives, routines, and internal enablement.
- Clear accountabilities and cadence
- Teams know what to do next
Proof of expertise: frameworks + deliverables
Your strategy needs to be credible to regulators, investors, and operational leaders — not just a glossy narrative.
Frameworks we align to
Typical deliverables
- Materiality and benchmarking pack
- Targets, KPIs, and boundaries (Scopes as relevant)
- Fuel + fleet pathway options and assumptions
- Initiative roadmap with milestones and owners
- Governance model and reporting architecture inputs
The VURDHAAN effect
What changes inside your organisation when the strategy is done properly:
- Leadership decisions link directly to fleet/fuel and capex gates
- Less “reporting scramble” — more repeatable data and ownership
- Clear stance on SAF/biofuels and claims approach (where relevant)
- Roadmaps that survive procurement, engineering, and ops review

You have sustainability initiatives, but they’re not yet consistently tied to fleet/fuel decisions and governance cadence.
- Clarify boundaries, baselines, and data owners
- Define KPIs that connect to operations
- Build a first roadmap with milestones and accountabilities
Key requirements and deadlines to watch
Rules vary by jurisdiction — but these milestones are shaping operator strategies now. Use the toggle to view by sector.
Aviation
Fuel mandates and long-term targets are tightening planning cycles.
In the EU, the first CSRD wave applies from FY2024 (reports published in 2025). Requirements are evolving, so strategy should be built to adapt without rework.

If you’re balancing regulation, biofuel integration, and fleet renewal, we’ll help you build a plan that is credible, measurable, and implementable.
- We start with your fleet, fuels, routes, and reporting perimeter — not generic templates.
- You’ll leave with clear priorities, ownership, and a roadmap that supports investment decisions.
What happens after you contact us
- We understand your sector mix (aviation/marine/road), fleet profile, and fuel position
- We clarify regulatory exposure and what “credible” means for your stakeholders
- We propose an engagement plan focused on outcomes and decision points
