Quest is expanding its presence in Europe with a new office in Luxembourg, strengthening its role as a partner in sustainability consulting and biodiversity/nature strategy. By expanding to one of Europe’s leading hubs for sustainable finance and corporate responsibility, Quest is now more set than ever to help organizations navigate the future of sustainability, biodiversity, and impact-driven growth.
Why Luxembourg?
Luxembourg has rapidly positioned itself as a hub for sustainable finance and corporate sustainability leadership. With strong networks in finance, business, and policy, the country offers a unique environment for pioneering initiatives that align economic growth with biodiversity protection.
Raf Stassen brings strong biodiversity and NGO expertise
Heading the new office is Raf Stassen, a seasoned leader in biodiversity and NGO development. Raf is not only a co-founder of Habitats (the nonprofit co-founded by Quest dedicated to nature conservation and restoration) but also brings extensive experience from senior roles at family funds and NGOs including Broederlijk Delen and Fundacion Jocotoco (Ecuador). His expertise in both creating biodiversity strategies and organizational development for NGOs makes him the perfect fit to guide Quest’s next chapter in Luxembourg.
With Raf, we also integrate Biota, another company he co-founded focusing on ecological studies and biodiversity assessments, into our impact-driven ecosystem.
Off to a strong start
Quest Luxembourg is already working on projects that reflect its mission and ambition:
- Partnering with IMS Luxembourg to co-develop biodiversity strategies for businesses.
- Launching the Finance for Biodiversity Taskforce with partners including Innpact, Graine De Vie and Rio Impact, to mobilize the financial sector towards nature-positive investments.
These initiatives signal Quest’s unique role at the intersection of biodiversity, sustainability consulting, and finance.
