EnviroSustain

What EnviroSustain does

EnviroSustain (legal entity ES EnviroSustain GmbH) is a Berlin-headquartered environmental consulting firm founded in 2003 that provides ESG strategy, decarbonisation, and green building certification services for the European built environment. The firm operates from two offices (Berlin headquarters and Kassel) with 11-50 employees and serves three core customer segments: real estate owners and investors, property developers, and corporate companies. Its service portfolio is organised into three lines—Buildings, Portfolios, and Companies—supported by specialised modules including Technical and Environmental Due Diligence (TEDD), ESG Due Diligence, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA/LCC), Energy and Decarbonisation Services, Certification Support (BREEAM, LEED, DGNB, QNG, WiredScore, SmartScore, WELL), Project Monitoring, Training, and Storytelling/Sustainability Communication.

The underlying technology stack is consulting IP rather than software: proprietary methodologies include the ESGi Score (an in-house ESG scoring framework used in due diligence) and Materials Passports (digital records enabling circular-economy material reuse). The firm differentiates on regulatory depth across EU Taxonomy and CSRD and on practitioner-level expertise across the major European certification systems, with certifications driving nearly 50% of 2024 sales. There is no disclosed software platform, app, API, or AI/ML capability; the offering is delivered through human consulting engagements.

EnviroSustain operates a direct enterprise B2B field-sales motion targeting real estate owners, investors, developers, and corporations across Europe (Germany, UK, Poland, Italy confirmed), supported by thought-leadership content, conference sponsorship (notably GBCI Europe Circle), and co-marketing partnerships with GRESB, GBCI Europe, USGBC, Rewilding Europe, and TU Berlin. Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project basis with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers; free initial consultations are used as the lead-conversion mechanism. The firm is founder/management-owned with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or funding rounds.
