Noria diagnoses the physical safety of a business. We translate accounting, environmental, production and market data into a risk ↔ safety curve, to give our clients fine-grained steering of their risks and opportunities.
We are neither a Bilan Carbone®, nor a regulatory compliance tool.
We provide quantified, sourced and neutral facts about a company's strengths and weaknesses in the face of physical realities, along three pillars: what comes into the business, what is done within it, and what goes out of it.
The reading starts from data that most companies already hold, coming mainly from their accounting, production and procurement data. We then compute 27 indicators, grouped into 3 pillars and 9 sub-groups, whose synthesis is a compass expressed as a safety percentage for each of the 9 groups.
Why do it?
- Understand where the business is fragile, before it breaks.
- Set priorities in an informed way, with readable levers.
- Compare your situation with similar (anonymised) businesses, to better position yourself in sometimes unclear contexts.
What we are not
Noria gains clarity when you also know what it does not claim to do.
- Not a Bilan Carbone®. We use the ABC's "Flash Carbone" nomenclature for our measurement and have no intention of replacing a regulatory assessment. The reading is about physical safety, not emissions. Scope 2 is only one of our inputs.
- Neither a label, nor compliance. We look in the same direction as most ESG regulations and reach conclusions that can come close. However, we are not a certified ESG tool. We give project leaders arguments to bring to their banker, not a certifying stamp.
- A neutral, objective view. The compass describes a situation at a given moment. It shows where the strengths and weaknesses lie; we will never be prescriptive about your strategies.
