We work three tracks.
- Circular action. We actualize circular goals, form circular (facility) coalitions and make buildings sustainable.
- To measure = to know. We measure the effects. We accomplish this through the PHI Impact Calculator.
- Inspire. We inspire and trigger employees in organisations to act through gamified learning.
Our approach is always customised.
Our building blocks offer an approach tailored to your organisation and transition phase. Are you looking for tangible circular ambitions? Or are you ready to translate them into a practical roadmap? Identify where your organisation can have the most positive environmental impact with our PHI Impact Calculator. Or start a genuine circular coalition with all your value chain partners!
