Investing in the change we want to see

Our planet faces major challenges related to climate, biodiversity, resource use, and rapid urbanisation. Ramboll’s strategy for 2022-2025, which is called The Partner for Sustainable Change, aims to address these challenges by aligning our portfolio and operations with four Unifying Sustainability Themes: 1) decarbonise for net zero; 2) resilient societies and liveability; 3) resource management and circular economy; and 4) biodiversity and ecosystems.
These themes help define where we invest, and the clients and projects we prioritise. We aim to embed sustainability across our clients’ and stakeholders’ value chains, enabling them to better navigate their transitions towards more sustainable business models and goals.
With our strategy, we put sustainability into the core of our projects and company operations, and work to become the leader in the renewable energy transition in the professional services industry.
The strategy is aligned with our company purpose and legacy to create sustainable societies where people and nature flourish, and expresses the value we generate for clients, end users, and society, and for how we do business.

Decarbonise for net zero

Climate change is the defining issue of our time. Reducing carbon emissions in the built environment, while deploying renewable energy at high pace and scale, is key to meeting the challenge. Here's how we're making this happen.

Resilient societies and liveability

By 2050, two-thirds of the world’s people will live in cities. We need to tackle rapid urbanisation while safeguarding communities against extreme weather events, protecting and enhancing biodiversity, and supporting economic growth and social equality.

Resource management and circular economy

Transitioning to circular economic approaches can help minimise environmental degradation and resource use, while improving waste management. Here’s how we help our clients and partners in businesses and government to apply circularity and reduce whole life carbon and material waste, while creating economic opportunities.

Biodiversity and ecosystems

Life is what makes this blue planet so special. But it is under threat from human impact and climate change. By halting and reversing biodiversity loss, we can help nature to recover so that thriving ecosystems and nature-based solutions continue to support future generations.

Our sustainability impact

In line with our values, we set ambitious targets to curb Ramboll’s carbon footprint, while improving impacts on our value chain and the environment. Explore our key climate targets and main environmental, social and governance actions and commitments.
