What the sustainable it does

The Sustainable IT is a Danish IT sustainability consultancy headquartered in Farum, Denmark, founded in 2025 and operating under CVR 45806065. The firm provides sustainability-focused IT advisory services to both private companies and public institutions across Denmark. Its service portfolio spans consulting (Rådgivning), analysis (Analyse), project management (Projektledelse), and implementation (Implementering), with a complementary offering in public speaking and lectures on IT sustainability topics. The business is founder-led by Kristian Ferré Andersen (CEO/Founder) with Birgitte Ørts Hansen handling communications.

The two-person team markets more than 20 years of accumulated IT experience, suggesting positioning around senior individual expertise rather than proprietary tooling or scaled delivery. There are no disclosed software products, patents, or technology platforms — the offering is services-led. The firm has also formalized a "Social Sustainable" initiative pledging 2.6% of 2026 profits to charitable causes, indicating a values-driven brand positioning aimed at sustainability-minded buyers in the Danish market.

The business model is project-based consulting with no publicly disclosed pricing, no external funding, and no reported revenue. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, targeting a dual-segment Danish market split between private companies and public sector institutions, with no named customer logos or case studies disclosed in the input.

Direct peers

• GreenIT.fr: French consultancy specialized in green IT and sustainable digital practices. Operates in a directly comparable niche (IT-focused sustainability advisory) and serves a similar audience of organizations seeking to reduce the environmental footprint of their IT operations.

Broad incumbents

• EcoAct (an Accenture company): Pan-European sustainability consultancy, now part of Accenture, that advises corporates on carbon footprint reduction, ESG strategy, and reporting. Competes for the same corporate sustainability budgets as The Sustainable IT but with a much broader service portfolio and global reach.
• South Pole Group: Global climate solutions and sustainability advisory firm working with corporates and public institutions on decarbonization and ESG strategy. Overlaps with The Sustainable IT's ESG and sustainability reporting mandate at a much larger scale.
• Anthesis Group: Large independent sustainability consultancy advising on strategy, reporting, and operational transformation, including digital and IT-related footprints. Comparable in advisory depth but operates across multiple sectors and geographies.
• Atos: Global IT services and consulting firm with a dedicated sustainability and decarbonization practice, including IT carbon footprint optimization. A potential competitor for large enterprise green IT mandates alongside the work The Sustainable IT delivers.
• Capgemini Invent: The digital innovation and consulting arm of Capgemini, with explicit sustainability and climate advisory offerings. Competes for the same corporate and public-sector clients but bundles IT sustainability into a much broader transformation portfolio.

Regional players

• Tietoevry: Leading Nordic IT services and software company with sustainability commitments and advisory services for Nordic enterprises. Most comparable in geography to The Sustainable IT and a likely local competitor for Danish green IT engagements.

Emerging players

• Plan A: Berlin-based SaaS platform for carbon accounting and decarbonization planning, with growing presence in the Nordics. Competes for ESG-related software budgets that The Sustainable IT's advisory practice serves, though via a software rather than pure consulting model.
• Normative: Nordic-rooted carbon accounting platform helping enterprises measure and reduce emissions, including IT-related footprint. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but increasingly relevant as Danish buyers look to pair advisory mandates with software tooling.

Others

• TCO Development: Organization behind the TCO Certified sustainability certification for IT products. Not a direct competitor but an ecosystem reference point that The Sustainable IT's hardware lifecycle recommendations are likely to leverage or align with.
