Green economy

We need to build prosperity and growth sustainably, taking care of the health of ecosystems and the carrying capacity of nature.

In our research projects, we seek ways to find sustainable energy solutions and mobility, promote the green transition in housing and construction and the circular economy.

Our work results in a stronger handprint and a smaller carbon footprint.

The green economy is one of our four strategic themes.

Smaller footprint, bigger handprint
