Except works on creating the foundations of a sustainable society. We consult and research for companies and government on integrated approaches towards transitioning towards a green and just world.

An integrated approach to sustainability requires an a thoroughly synthesized vision assembling knowledge about economy, society and culture as much as design, technology and ecology. To manage this Except develops methods and structures for working with these complex questions to efficiently move towards symbiotic solutions. This results in enabling profitable projects that look far ahead and offer increased investment continuity and extended profit schedules while working constructively towards a sustainable society.

We're in a transitional period where we move from standard investment models to open network structures with growth investments. Seeing the larger picture during these transitions is essential, and we can leverage smart 2.0 solutions in combination with lessons learnt from the past to complete that strategic vision. New opportunities surface when working on symbiotic relationships between ecology and the built environment, between markets and cultures, between services and products. We work with expertise regarding environmental issues on four continents, and have created many solutions that are profitable and environmentally beneficial.

While knowledge about global issues and solutions is of major importance, the implementation of smart solutions requires knowledge and study of the local situation. With our network of partners we can assist from top level strategic phases down to the execution of the project. In our architecture and urban design office we execute our methods and strategies, and learn from them. We use the experience from our presentation and communication department to effectively help communicate the knowledge developed.

Our services include standard sustainability services such as Life Cycle Assesment and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programmes, and are also used as a second opinion or jury for complex sustainability, planning and design projects, and as generators of new strategies to deal with sustainable development.
