Our environment is under pressure from various directions. Emissions of pollutants, noise and light, the consumption of natural resources and the intensified land use affect the living environment of people and the habitat of animals and plants. Climate change generates additional additional impact. Measures to protect our environment and resources must be based on solid foundations and implemented efficiently in order to be effective. Likewise, an early involvement of stakeholders ensures a high level of acceptance and targeted implementation. With our interdisciplinary teams, we can cover a wide range of environmental topics and support our clients effectively.
We support public institutions and private actors in a thematically broad spectrum. The design of legal frameworks, the development of topic-specific strategies, the implementation of stakeholder analyses, the setting up of inventories, controlling, as well as impact, cost and secondary benefit assessments of measures are focal points of our activities.
