NIRAS

How do you build a CO2-neutral juice factory? What does it take to expand rail connections in the rugged terrain of Eastern Norway? How do you construct the world’s best children’s hospital? And what’s required to protect marine mammals, fish, and birdlife when the planned energy island is built in the North Sea? These are the kinds of questions that NIRAS finds the answers to.

NIRAS is a consulting engineering company with strong market positions in Northern Europe and global project deliveries. We are working on 7,000 ongoing projects from our 61 offices in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America. But no matter where in the world you find us, we all have digitalization, sustainability, and quality consultancy as our cornerstones.

Knowledge comes with responsibility
Our 3,000 employees are not just an important part of the company. Our employees are NIRAS – because what we sell is knowledge that drives sustainable progress. We hire people who get up every morning with the ambition to create better lives and living conditions.

That’s why NIRAS is a frontrunner in delivering measurable progress on the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We are fully committed to the SDGs, but our experience goes much further back. In fact, we have been working with sustainability for more than 30 years – long before the concept even existed.

NIRAS was founded in 1956. Back then, Greenland was our primary market, and the consultancy was mainly focused on environmental issues. Today, we operate globally across business areas such as construction, infrastructure, development aid, process industry, utilities, environment, as well as data, analysis, and planning.

We work systematically with a Business Integrity Management System, which helps safeguard us against any form of corruption and bribery. Our policies in this area are in accordance with current OECD and FIDIC recommendations.
