The organization works on sustainability and circularity within the business sector and undertakes many initiatives that are subject to an EIA assessment or mandatory EIA. This requires specific knowledge in the fields of spatial planning, environment, processes, chemistry, and engineering. Tasks include hydrogen, CO2 storage, nuclear energy, biodiesel and jet fuel, data centers, and waste recycling, among others. The challenge is to integrate these innovative activities within limited environmental space and to make a broad, thorough assessment regarding this. The team consists of a mix of approximately fifteen junior and senior colleagues spread across locations in Assen, Deventer, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, and Utrecht. Close collaboration takes place with teams in the fields of safety, air and noise, site (re)development, wastewater technology, circular economy, and sustainability.
