About us
We are Adamas
Adamas, established in 2001, and co-founder/founding partner of the DGBC (= Dutch Green Building Council), has developed into a leading engineering and consultancy firm – operating internationally specialized in sustainable real estate issues and property certifications with BREEAM, LEED, WELL, DGNB, ECARF and BIOSPHERE. Our mission? Building a healthier, more sustainable and circularly built environment together with our clients.
Among other things, we are committed to tackling climate change, building resilient and sustainable cities, and protecting our ecosystems, forests and biodiversity. Do you recognize these items? Correct! These are examples of how we contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations.
How are we going to achieve this mission? Nothing is set in stone for us. Doing things differently, even if everyone thinks there is only one way to do it. That is our approach: pragmatic, creative and progressive. We are puzzlers, researchers and re-thinkers, focused on personal advice, and with a meticulous approach. We do this at an international level from our offices in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Poland.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Every day we look critically at ourselves and ask: how can we contribute more to our earth than we already do? People, planet and profit. In addition to our core activities, we are actively looking for new ways to make a positive contribution. In this way, our mission goes beyond building a healthier, more sustainable and circularly built environment.
As an ambassador of Oxfam Novib, we also contribute outside the built environment. We are part of the ‘Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs Network’, where we jointly fight for various Sustainable Development Goals against poverty, social inequality and hunger. In addition, Adamas supports JustDiggit, an organization that fights against global warming by greening degraded land and restoring vegetation. We fully agree with their vision: ‘It’s the decade of doing’.
