The firm employs 160+ people across the group and participates in Inogen Alliance, a global network providing access to 5,000+ environmental advisors in 120+ countries. Customer segments are horizontal, covering both private enterprise (Aalborg Portland, Q8, VAM A/S, Midtjysk Fornikling) and public sector clients (Vejle Spildevand, HOFOR, Brædstrup Vandværk, EnergiNet, Forsvarsministeriets Ejendomsstyrelse), with long-tenured engagements spanning 20+ years in some cases. The revenue model is professional services delivered via direct consulting engagements and public sector tenders, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no recurring software/SaaS component.
