Building on 80 years of sustainable change
In 1945, two young engineers set up a small engineering consultancy built on strong technical expertise and a vision to improve conditions for people and nature. Like others at the time, they had witnessed the destruction of the Second World War and felt a great urge to use their knowledge to rebuild society and shape a better future.
What began in Copenhagen 80 years ago has grown into a global architecture, engineering, and consultancy company, still united by the core beliefs of our founders. Today, we remain committed to helping create sustainable societies where people and nature flourish, driven by the excellence and passion of our close to 18,000 employees working at the heart of sustainable change.
In 2025, we supported our clients by delivering transformational projects across sectors and geographies. Our work spanned large-scale rail infrastructure, more sustainable data centres, pharmaceutical facilities, power grid modernisation, urban climate adaptation and low-carbon energy solutions. Across our global project portfolio, we helped strengthen resilience and advance decarbonisation at scale, aligning our contributions with long-term market trends and societal needs.
From a financial point of view, 2025 was an unsatisfactory year with both revenue and earnings below expectations. This was partly due to a downturn in key markets like buildings and architecture, as well as policy uncertainties leading to delayed or cancelled projects within the green energy transition.
To strengthen our global knowledge platform and enhance scalability, client proximity, and organisational agility, we launched a new operating model supported by targeted initiatives to simplify operations and reduce costs. With this significant transformation of our operating model, we aim to further strengthen our market presence and improve operational performance.
Empowering through people
We extend our sincere appreciation to our clients for their continued trust and partnership. The confidence placed in our capabilities is fundamental to our success, and we look forward to continuing to deliver high-quality solutions that create lasting value together.
We would also like to thank all our colleagues for their contributions through 2025, as they continued to support our clients in navigating an increasingly complex and volatile global landscape. Their unwavering commitment to excellence – through periods of change, challenge, and opportunity – continues to shape who we are as a company. We are deeply grateful for their efforts and proud of the strong, inclusive culture they help build every day.
Our hope is that every employee feels pride in our unique legacy and the inspiring vision of our founders that still permeates our company. For 80 years, Ramboll has driven sustainable change by caring for people, creating new knowledge and translating solutions into positive impacts for society. Every day, we build our contribution on the achievements of those who came before us, and for the benefit of those who will follow.
