What INTEGRITY does

INTEGRITY (legally integrity Renewables GmbH, also operating as integrity ms2 GmbH) is a German professional services firm founded on 1 April 2014 by Managing Director Madeleine Schmidt and headquartered in Gadebusch, with additional operational presence in Hamburg and Berlin. The company specializes in project certification, permit management, information and document management, technical project management, and electrical system inspection and commissioning for offshore wind farms and their grid connections. Its services are delivered as project-based consulting engagements to major, unnamed energy-sector corporations developing and operating offshore wind infrastructure in the German and Dutch Exclusive Economic Zones in the North and Baltic Seas.

The company operates a flat-hierarchy team model of approximately 18-20 specialists and organizes its internal knowledge base around 'ProCliques' — professional groups clustered around core competencies (certification, permitting, documentation, electrical engineering) that produce shared templates, training content, and KI-gestützte (AI-supported) document tools. The technology stack is deliberately lightweight: a WIX-hosted website, Microsoft Teams for collaboration, and internally developed document and project management templates. There is no proprietary software product, API, or SDK, and the company's competitive differentiation is grounded in domain expertise, regulatory know-how, and independent coordination across multi-stakeholder offshore wind projects rather than in technology assets.

Commercially, INTEGRITY earns revenue through custom, project-based professional services engagements with enterprise energy clients; no public pricing tiers exist, and contracts are described as multi-year. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales driven by industry reputation, an active careers page as a talent and expertise signal, and thought-leadership content via the 'integrity Insights' blog (launched June 2024). The company is privately held, has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or subsidiaries, and has not reported any funding rounds, acquisitions, or material partnerships.
