Environmental science 

COWI has more than 500 employees, who provide consulting services for private customers about the environment on both strategic as well as operational levels.

It is a major challenge for organisations and companies to ensure a balance between considerations for the environment and nature on the one hand, and the request for continuous development and growth on the other. It requires knowledge about the activities involved and the environmental conditions that need to be regulated.

A wide spectrum of expertise

COWI's environmental experts have the required knowledge and a wide spectrum of expertise within natural science, social science, engineering and economics.
 
They are able to offer both extremely specialised environmental counselling and expertise to the company's inter-disciplinary projects.

Geographical coverage

COWI has environmental experts in all of its offices in Denmark and abroad, and they work in close cooperation. Internationally, the environmental field is covered by COWI's subsidiaries and through a number of strategic partners all over the world.
