How to build a CO2-neutral juice factory? What is required to expand the railway network in the rugged Eastern Norway? How should the world's best children's hospital be built? And what does it take to protect marine mammals, fish and bird life when the coming energy island is to be built in the North Sea? This is the type of question NIRAS finds answers to.

NIRAS is a consulting engineering company with strong market positions in Northern Europe and global project deliveries. From their 51 offices in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, they work with 7,000 ongoing projects. But no matter where in the world you meet them, the cornerstone of their work is digitalisation, sustainability and quality advice.   

Knowledge commits

Their 2400 employees are not just an important part of the company. Their employees are NIRAS - because what they sell is knowledge that creates sustainable progress. They employ people who get up in the morning every day with ambitions to create better lives and living conditions.

That is why NIRAS is a frontrunner when it comes to realizing measurable progress within the UN's 17 sustainability goals. They actively support sustainability goals, but their experience goes back much further. In fact, they have been working on sustainability for more than 30 years - long before the concept emerged.

NIRAS was founded in 1956. At that time, Greenland was their primary market, and the consultancy was primarily aimed at the environmental area. Today, they work worldwide with the business areas construction, infrastructure, development assistance, process industry, supply and environment, as well as data, analysis and planning.
