The Partner for Sustainable Change

One year into our strategy for 2022–2025, we are embedding sustainability across our portfolio and operations.

Tackling the toughest challenges

Our planet faces major challenges related to climate, biodiversity, resource use, and rapid urbanisation. Our strategy aims to address these challenges by aligning our portfolio and operations with four Unifying Sustainability Themes: 1) decarbonise for net zero; 2) resilient societies and liveability; 3) resource management and circular economy; and 4) biodiversity and ecosystems.

These themes help define where we invest, and the clients and projects we prioritise. We deploy significant resources and expertise to deliver sustainable outcomes, scaling up and accelerating solutions to move the world faster towards a more sustainable future. We aim to embed sustainability across our clients’ and stakeholders’ value chains, enabling them to better navigate their transitions towards more sustainable business models and goals.

We systematically implemented our strategy towards our people, clients, and stakeholders in 2022. We are pleased to see it having the desired positive impact. This is evidenced, among others, by the continued high demand in the market for Ramboll’s expertise in renewable energy segments such as offshore-and-onshore wind energy and green hydrogen, and in environmental and nature-based segments including impact assessment and sustainable remediation.

Key levers for strategic change

There are multiple actions in implementing the strategy, but two stand out. First, Ramboll offers clients alternatives on how to improve the sustainability of their projects. Second, we aim to become the global leader in the green energy transition in our industry, backed by our strengths in renewable energy technologies.

In 2022, we stopped tendering for new oil field projects, and will exit oil and gas exploration before the end of 2025. At the same time, we are redeploying our extensive oil and gas technical expertise within renewable energy. Particularly, we apply this expertise to offshore wind, green hydrogen, Power-to-X, energy storage, as well as carbon capture and storage. In the US, we are active throughout the offshore wind value chain, from planning to deployment, while continuing to meet growing EU demand for renewable energy.
