What Vill Energi does

Vill Energi AS is an Oslo-headquartered sustainability consultancy founded in 2018, providing strategic and environmental advisory services across climate, nature, energy, and circular economy for Norway's built environment. The firm operates without a software platform, delivering applied consulting expertise from a cross-disciplinary team of approximately 8 employees — engineers, economists, and social scientists — through three service lines: Innovasjon (innovation and pilot support), Strategisk rådgivning (CSRD/ESRS/VSME reporting, double materiality, transition plans), and Energi, klima og natur (LCA, greenhouse gas accounting under NS 3720 and FutureBuilt ZERO-B/ZERO-O, TNFD LEAP nature risk analysis, plastic mapping, energy assessments). Core methodologies include Norwegian-standard NS 3720 GHG calculations, FutureBuilt certification processes, TNFD LEAP nature analysis, and integration with the Kvist environmental follow-up tool.

The firm serves real estate owners and developers (Oslo Pensjonsforsikring, SpareBank 1 Forsikring Eiendom, Höegh Eiendom, Solon Eiendom, Ferd Eiendom, Birk & Co), construction projects, Norwegian municipalities and public entities (Statsbygg, Bærum kommune, Oslobygg KF, Narvik Havn KF), and a smaller emerging segment of material innovators (DEMP BIO, Grund AS). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services fees, with go-to-market driven by direct sales, partner referrals, consortium tender participation (e.g., with Circular Norway), and credibility built through documented project outcomes such as the 76% lower GHG emissions achieved in the Kirkegata 20 rehabilitation versus new build.

Vill Energi is embedded in the Norwegian sustainability ecosystem as co-initiator of the SirkTRE Green Platform (2022–2025, 180M+ NOK total budget, ~106M NOK public funding, 25+ partners), independent QA provider for approximately 20 FutureBuilt ZERO-B projects, and contributor to FutureBuilt 2.0 circular neighbourhood criteria. Geographic reach spans Norway from Oslo and Bergen through Drammen, Voss, Ski, and Fornebu to Svalbard (Longyearbyen), Narvik, and Lofoten. The firm is privately held with no disclosed external investment or institutional ownership.

Direct peers

• Asplan Viak: Norwegian interdisciplinary consultancy with strong built-environment, urban planning, and environmental/sustainability advisory practices. Closest direct Norwegian peer in terms of client base (municipalities, developers) and sustainability scope (LCA, climate, area-level planning).
• South Pole: Global climate and sustainability consultancy offering strategy, GHG accounting and climate/nature advisory to corporates and real-estate owners. Direct comparable on CSRD, climate risk and net-zero strategy engagements for real-estate clients.
• Anthesis Group: Global pure-play sustainability consultancy focused on ESG strategy, climate, nature and circular economy advisory. Closely comparable in offering mix (strategy + technical sustainability) but without Vill Energi's Norwegian built-environment specialisation.

Broad incumbents

• Ramboll: Global, Denmark-headquartered engineering, sustainability and design consultancy with a major built-environment and ESG practice across the Nordics. Directly competes for Norwegian real-estate sustainability, LCA, and CSRD mandates, but as one service line inside a much broader portfolio.
• Sweco: Sweden/Nordic-headquartered engineering and design consultancy with significant Norwegian operations in sustainable buildings, climate advisory and area development. Competes for similar real-estate and municipality sustainability mandates, with greater scale and broader service breadth.
• WSP: Global built-environment professional services firm with sustainability, ESG, climate and nature advisory practices serving real-estate developers and investors. Competes for the same large Norwegian and Nordic real-estate clients on CSRD, climate risk and ESG strategy mandates.
• Environmental Resources Management (ERM): Global sustainability and environmental consulting firm with extensive built-environment, climate, nature and ESG advisory practices. Competes for the same enterprise and institutional real-estate sustainability mandates at larger scale and broader scope.
• COWI: Denmark-headquartered engineering consultancy with a Nordic built-environment and climate/sustainability practice. Overlaps with Vill Energi on Norwegian/international real-estate clients seeking sustainability and ESG advisory, particularly on larger international projects.
• Multiconsult: Major Norwegian engineering consultancy offering environmental, climate and sustainability advisory across buildings, infrastructure and area development. Overlaps with Vill Energi on built-environment LCA, GHG accounting and area-level sustainability strategy, but as part of a much larger engineering portfolio.
• Norconsult: Major Norwegian multidisciplinary engineering and architecture consultancy with sustainability, energy and environmental advisory for buildings and area development. Overlaps with Vill Energi on Norwegian real-estate and municipality sustainability projects, with significantly greater scale.
