Our team specializes in advising on sound ecodesign principles. EcoDesign is a design process that aims to minimize the environmental impact of a product or service following a holistic approach, taking into account Circular Design Principles such as durability, disassembly & reassembly, reusability, and longevity. It covers the entire lifecycle of a product and introduces circularity into the production process.
Sustainability at every step of the way is what we are concerned with. That's why Life-Cycle Thinking is necessary for the implementation of any circular design or business idea, and we will help you throughout the process.
Our experienced team can assist your business or organization in transitioning to the circular economy! We will identify the best Circular Strategies to minimize waste, maximize resource recirculation, & reduce your environmental impact at every stage of sourcing, production, and operations, with approaches based on the 10Rs.
We will also recommend, when appropriate, innovative Circular Business Models to allow for the materials & products you use or produce to be re-circulated when not needed or used anymore, thereby adding economic value to the way you operate. This could entail accessing the sharing economy or the second-hand market.
Waste management is a pressing global issue that we are strongly committed to. That’s why we are keen on assisting clients who share our committment and see in waste an opportunity for Waste Valorisation & Re-Circulation.
The Blue Economy is all about the preservation and regeneration of the marine environment through sustainable exploitation. We assist our clients in determining how to approach marine opportunities and coastal tourism in the most sustainable way.
Circularity and eco-design are essential for the tourism industry as they promote responsible practices that enhance resource efficiency, minimize environmental impact, while creating local green jobs.

We also create attractive Environmental Games for all age groups, stimulating participants' engagement in a fun & creative way!
Including Environmental Education in curricula is crucial today. We leverage our expertise in sustainability, climate change, the blue economy, and the circular economy to integrate environmental awareness & climate action into the curricula of schools, universities, and institutions.
The shift towards interactive education and experiential learning is needed to match people's learning needs. We blend knowledge with play and deliver the understanding of real-world systems to participants through hands-on and fun Educational Activities, for kids, youth, or adults! Our experienced team develops the content, the dynamics of the activities, and their interactive delivery in workshops or webinars.
Toolkits are a helpful way of relaying important information. We develop Environmental Tools for enterprises and institutions that guide them towards their goals and help them achieve them.

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a green building certification scheme developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) since 1998. The rating system covers the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighborhoods. With more than 100,000 certified buildings worldwide, our team is qualified to help you achieve your sustainability goals and attain the targeted LEED rating for your project.
Developed in the UK since 1990, the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) is a global mark of excellence in green building design, execution, and operation. With our assistance, you can certify your green project and highlight the sustainability goals you have reached.
An exceptional energy performance is a cornerstone of an energy-efficient building. We use cutting-edge software to create a Dynamic Thermal Model of your building in order to understand its energy performance and find the most effective ways to improve it.
A well-designed building requires the right balance in openings size and orientation in order to obtain optimal natural daylight, thereby reducing excessive heat gain in the summer and loss in winter. By using the latest 3D Daylighting Simulation, we can assist you in optimizing daylighting in your design, reducing your energy bills, and improving the well-being of the building’s occupants.
Understanding the environmental impact of your building goes far beyond the carbon footprint of its operation. This is why we conduct a whole Life-Cycle Assessment to evaluate the embodied footprint of the building’s materials in addition to its operational footprint.
Government policies are central to our transition to a sustainable future.
