Sustainability is embedded in our DNA.

Learn and act together.

Traveling by train and working digitally are a no brainer to us. As a circular expert and experts by experience, we are 100% committed to the success of all projects. We accomplish this through co-creation with our customers and partners. We connect, share our knowledge, and dare to experiment.

#acceleratetogether #bethechange #sharethefun

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 organizations to act through gamified learning.
