What Orthem - Grupo Hozono Global does

Orthem Servicios y Actuaciones Ambientales S.A.U. is a Spain-based B2B and B2G environmental services and construction company, wholly owned by the Hozono Global diversified conglomerate, headquartered in La Raya (Murcia). Founded in 2003, the company operates two integrated divisions: Construction (building, civil engineering, and quality management) and Environmental Services (integral biodiversity management, sustainable forest management, river and coastal restoration, emergency services, environmental consulting, industrial maintenance, and maintenance/cleaning). Its client base is predominantly Spanish public administrations — regional governments, municipalities, and public entities — supplemented by a smaller portfolio of private-sector contracts in healthcare, retail, aerospace, and food processing. Notable long-standing engagements include the 300-person Servicio de Prevención Selvícola y Defensa del Patrimonio Natural de la Región de Murcia since 2014, and recent contract wins such as the €5.1M EMT Palma electric bus charging infrastructure and the €2.3M Guadalajara cultural complex.

The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, and EMAS certifications, and operates a six-office national footprint (Murcia, Madrid, Valencia, Vigo, Salamanca, Alicante) serving all Spanish territory. Its proprietary technology is centred on the Life Token CO2 digital platform, co-developed with Digiltea and validated by SGS, UCAM, and Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha, which combines forest inventories, scientific modelling, satellite remote sensing, and Eddy Covariance techniques to measure, certify, and trace carbon absorption in Mediterranean forests. Orthem also maintains its own machinery and transport fleet and deploys specialised wildlife veterinary and forestry brigade teams across the Mediterranean arc.

Revenue is generated through long-term public service concessions and framework agreements, project-based construction and civil works contracts awarded via public procurement, and negotiated B2B industrial maintenance engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined by project scope, duration, and applicable regulatory frameworks. Distribution relies on direct sales via public tendering and direct B2B negotiation, executed through the regional office network. The company has not raised external funding, is privately held under Hozono Global, and does not operate a consumer-facing or technology-platform go-to-market motion.
