Vision & strategic foresight

Navigating the transition needed to stay within our planetary boundaries requires strategic foresight, vision, and deep understanding of possible ways forward.

Circular design

Design is by definition an iterative activity, to be prepared for change and adapt to the contextual shifts as well as the inner development of specific users is part of our way of working.

Imagination, visualisation, prototyping and testing build resilient solutions driven by purpose and make it possible – to create meaningful experiences without depending on a wasteful use of our common resources.

To continuously develop ourselves and building knowledge is an important part of our approach to sustainability. This is done within our group, and with help from being part of AFRY (having 19000 colleagues and a dedicated team driving the internal sustainability work) and of from external sources.
