Sustainability and business innovation practice

Our team of experts delivers innovative engineering solutions that align your projects with international sustainability standards

Our expertise   

We support organisations across the lifecycle of complex industrial and infrastructure initiatives, connecting strategic thinking with technical depth, operational excellence and long-term sustainability. Our work combines insight on markets and investments, technology choices, environmental, social and climate risks, resource use, process performance and people capabilities in a single advisory framework. We help clients see how projects will perform in real contexts: who will be affected, which rules apply, which options create most value, and what is needed inside the organisation to manage the project. By pairing rigorous analysis with a focus on implementation, we help decision-makers shape initiatives that are resilient, responsible and aligned with expectations from lenders, regulators, communities and investors.

How we work 

We provide our services in 14 countries, with more than 150 experts working on the project.  

Our work begins with a feasibility assessment to evaluate strategic alignment, economic and financial robustness, risk exposure, ESG performance and consistency with international good industry practice and financing standards and requirements. 

Key focus areas include: 

  • Developing sound business cases and sustainable investment strategies. 
  • Structuring business plans and financial models. 
  • Corporate and project finance, including capital structuring and funding strategies. 
  • Defining low-carbon and climate-resilient pathways. 
  • Performing life-cycle-assessment of products and/or technologies to identify hot-spots and mitigate overall environmental and social impacts. 
  • Identifying the most suitable technologies through structured scouting and comparison. 
  • Assessing and managing environmental, social and human rights impacts across planning, construction and operation. 
  • Performing sustainability, efficiency and reliability studies for resources utilization, including energy, water, raw materials and core processes, with a focus on performance and process integrity. 
  • Supporting financing institutions in implementing green financing initiatives and related mechanisms, including stakeholder engagement initiatives. 
  • Supporting the development of the capabilities needed to operate, maintain and adapt new solutions over time. 
  • Delivering Quality Assurance services to ensure compliance and continuous improvement across all project phases. 

We then move into design, shaping operational frameworks, optimizing processes, strengthening quality and risk-management systems and integrating environmental, social and governance measures.  

During execution, we guide assurance activities, monitor key indicators, support transaction processes and roll out focused learning initiatives. We continue to track performance in operation, for example on behalf of project lenders, and ultimately support responsible and sustainable decommissioning strategies.
