Together we build a future that matters. We make choices that work today and remain valuable tomorrow. We create structures that can withstand change. Because real progress begins with vision and courage.
Together with you, we show that things can be done differently. Better. For all of us.
Circular construction The construction sector is undergoing a major transition. Demand for housing, infrastructure, and public facilities continues to grow, while pressure on the climate and natural resources is increasing. Circular construction offers a pathway to create more value with fewer materials and lower environmental impact. Achieving this requires different choices in design, collaboration, and financing.

Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) The economy of the future depends on critical raw materials. The energy transition, mobility transition, digitalisation, defence sector, and construction challenges all place growing demands on critical raw materials. As a result, the way we manage these resources will play a decisive role in the success of the transitions ahead. A circular economy for critical materials can reduce geopolitical dependencies, lower environmental impacts, and mitigate social risks across value chains.

Circular financing Capital is available, but not yet for a circular economy at scale. Circular businesses often face financing conditions that were designed for linear models, leaving benefits such as value retention, longer asset lifetimes, and reduced resource dependency insufficiently recognised. Unlocking the transition to a circular economy requires rethinking how we finance and invest.

Circular HVAC systems The role of building services is growing rapidly. At the same time, evidence is mounting that the environmental impact of technical installations is substantially underestimated in current assessments. As the sector moves towards Paris-Proof buildings, optimising building services and HVAC systems will be key to achieving both climate and circularity ambitions.

Financial impact of transition risks Businesses are operating in an increasingly volatile environment. Transition risks driven by climate change, resource scarcity, geopolitical shifts, and evolving regulation are becoming more frequent and disruptive. However, the financial impact of these risks is often poorly understood, preventing organisations from fully integrating them into strategic and investment decisions.

We choose our projects based on their potential impact. We don't stop with budget constraints. We also initiate own research to help spark the system change we so believe in.
We prefer to be rewarded for the value we deliver, not for the time we spend. That’s why we navigate several different revenue models: pay-what-you-like or bonus-penalty arrangements.
A healthy team is very important to us. Our work is demanding, which is why we have chosen a four‑day workweek to ensure there is enough space for reflection and inspiration.
We see every interaction as an opportunity to share our values and knowledge. All our publications are open source. We also engage with potential suppliers to activate them in terms of sustainability.
Change is at the heart of our work. It is exciting and often requires making tough choices. That’s why giving trust and creating a sense of safety are so important to us. In every relationship we build - and especially within our team - trust is an essential foundation.
Together we build a future that matters. We make choices that work today and remain valuable tomorrow. We create structures that can withstand change. Because real progress begins with vision and courage.
For us, the planet and not the customer is king. In our work we encounter many barriers that hinder the transition to a sustainable economy. These challenges affect every business, yet no one truly feels responsible for solving them. We believe these issues are too important to ignore. That’s why we research them, put them on the agenda, and work on solutions… on our own initiative.
