What Miljögiraff does

Miljögiraff is a privately held sustainability consulting firm headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, founded in 2003 and operating with 1-10 employees. The firm specializes in life cycle assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declarations (EPD), and corporate climate calculations aligned with CSRD/ESRS, GHG Protocol Scope 1-3, ISO 14040-44, and ISO 14025. It serves manufacturing companies, retailers, municipalities, and authorities across the Nordic region, with named clients spanning construction (Elitfönster, PEAB), industrial equipment (Alfa Laval, Valmet), textiles (Ludvig Svensson), furniture (Lintex), paper and packaging (Ahnviks Papper/NYAH Group), and public procurement (Upphandlingsmyndigheten).

The company's core technology stack is anchored by its exclusive SimaPro LCA software agency for Sweden and Finland, held since 2004, combined with proprietary tools including customizable pre-verified EPD generators, the LCA Navigator methodology, an Environmental Spend Analysis built on the Exiobase input-output database, and API-based sustainability calculation integrations (e.g., a SimaPro-Tacton CPQ connector). In 2024 it brought SimaPro Synergy (an API-focused variant) to the Nordic market and in 2026 launched a custom EPD generator for Elitfönster that reduced per-EPD production time from 3-4 months to roughly one hour. Verification services are delivered by team members certified as reviewers under the International EPD System.

Miljögiraff's business model combines professional services consulting (LCA studies, EPD development, CSRD climate calculations, ecodesign), software reselling and support (SimaPro Craft/Synergy via subscription or one-time plus annual fee), custom tool development (EPD generators), and education (free and paid courses on Thinkific). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct engagement, supplemented by content marketing through a Knowledge Hub, LinkedIn, and YouTube. Strategic partnerships with PRé Sustainability (SimaPro developer), the International EPD System, Greengoat (CSRD), and IUC Sjuhärrad (textile cluster) extend delivery capacity. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
