About us

We are an international consulting and research company for the environment, economy and society. We have been committed to sustainable development since 1979. With more than 90 employees, we work interdisciplinary in an agile and cross-location team structure and live sustainability both internally and externally.

Business Model

Our business model is based on the economic model of the Economy for the Common Good 5.0 and the vision of Entrepreneurial sustainability 3.0. In the spirit of “True Sustainability”, we go beyond the 3-pillar model of sustainability: together with our customers, we not only want to reduce environmental pollution, but also proactively contribute to solving social challenges – through decarbonization, dematerialization and the circular economy. This is the deeper meaning and purpose of all our activities.

Purpose

We strive for social and technological change, use our innovative strength and develop solutions for a sustainable future.

Vision

Our customers are enthusiastic and convinced that they can make an effective contribution to sustainable development with us.

Sustainability

We have committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to “net zero” by 2040. Our commitment to sustainability is regularly and independently assessed by the international assessment platform EcoVadis. You can find out exactly what we do to be among the best in our field in our sustainability report.
