How we work

Our three interlinked services of consultancy, project implementation and knowledge sharing benefit from the synergies between them. For our partners and clients, this means more impactful interventions, policies and strategies. With over 45 years of experience in over 100 countries, our experts deliver technical expertise, training, research, project implementation and management support. We thus create powerful synergies for our clients and provide excellent opportunities for our teams.

... and why

Water, Energy and Building, with Governance at the core, are domains in which we have profound competence. Through concrete actions in these thematic domains, we address the twin challenges of our times – inclusive sustainable development, as embodied in the Sustainable Development Goals, and Climate Resilience. While we do everything to reduce our carbon footprint, we increase our ‘handprint’, with our partners, enhancing our collective impact for a climate resilient development.
