Our team of dedicated sustainability management consultants works in close collaboration with a wide network of experts across AFRY to address challenges and opportunities along sustainability topics such as climate change, decarbonisation, circular economy, biodiversity, nature-based solutions, water challenges, and social responsibility through:

At AFRY, our unique capabilities are based on a long history in industries such as energy, manufacturing, pulp, paper, packaging, wood products, forestry, renewable fuels, food and pharma, waste and circularity, future cities, automotive as well as mining and metals. With a strong foothold in Europe, AFRY continues to strengthen its presence in its home market and globally, leveraging its deep sector expertise and knowledge of the solutions needed to achieve a net-zero and nature positive future.

Our extensive network among companies, academia, and authorities in various sectors provides us with a valuable resource for many projects. We can support global companies worldwide using our local staff in 50+ markets, who have in-depth knowledge of the local context, culture and language. Our experts possess a deep understanding of the latest news regarding sustainability, thanks to our involvement in research activities, including our close collaboration with Oxford University and several other leading institutions.

Our sustainability services cover a wide range of disciplines in:

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.
