Environmental and sustainable solutions
AFRY’s environmental and sustainable solutions.
The transition to a more sustainable future is complex and different stakeholders face both risks and opportunities.
The increasing need for sustainable business operations in all industries has been caused by manifold developments, from resource scarcity, climate change and biodiversity loss, to regulatory and stakeholder demand.
This requires holistic thinking and innovative solutions. We support our clients in developing both sustainability strategies and technical solutions on the path to achieving their sustainability goals.

Global challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, deforestation, virgin material extraction, loss of biodiversity and social challenges are negatively impacting people, the planet and business. The world must cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050, which is a huge undertaking given that we almost already are on a trajectory to surpass the 1.5 degree limit. At the same time, our way of living is reducing our wildlife population rapidly and on average 69% of the population is already extinct.
In this decade of action, corporations, investors and governmental organisations need trustworthy partners who not only can help them analyse the current situation and develop transition strategies to help them reach their and the global goals, but they also need a partner to help them realise these strategies and develop the technological solutions needed to enable real and lasting change.
This is why we at AFRY are making it easier for our clients and partners worldwide to engage the right experts at the right time, by taking the steps to connect our 1000+ sustainability, environmental and social experts across the globe through the formation of a focused and highly experienced management consulting team that is solely focused on solving the sustainability challenges of today. With AFRY as a partner, delivering real sustainability actions is possible, not only setting targets and scenarios.
