Construction & Energy

The construction industry is at a crossroads, and urgently needs to shift towards more sustainable practices. From the construction of a building and the extraction and processing of building materials to the interior design and the energy it consumes, buildings have a significant impact on people and the planet. In an increasingly urbanised and polluted world, we want to help you set a new standard on what a sustainable building represents.

Our customers

Whether you’re a small sustainable brand or a large corporate, we’re here to help your organization drive positive change.

Why is change necessary?

Polluting like no other industry

The buildings and construction sector is by far the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, accounting for a staggering 37% of global emissions (UNEP, 2023)

Expanding at rapid scale

Over the next 40 years, the world will build roughly the same area as Paris in new construction every single week (UN Environment, 2017)

Consuming a staggering amount of natural resources

The industry consumes 40% of the world’s usage of raw stones, gravel and sand, as well as 25% of the world’s virgin wood annually (World Watch Institute, 2003)

Other Sectors

Public & Social

Social justice, public services, and equal opportunities are more recognized than ever, but recognition alone doesn’t create lasting impact. To build resilient societies, we need systems that prioritize inclusion, equity, and collective well-being. From strengthening social safety nets and improving public service delivery to fostering civic engagement and community-led solutions, we work to ensure that progress is not just policy on paper but a lived reality for all.

Food

No other industry has a bigger impact on people and the planet than our food system. The road towards regenerative agriculture and a world without waste can be possible, but doesn’t come without its challenges. By closely working with various players in the industry, we ensure to scale impactful projects into viable business models and help organisations to become more authentic, trustworthy, and transparent in the process.

Fashion

It is clear that the current fashion industry is slowly going out of fashion. Under increasing pressure, the fashion industry is now reinventing itself and scaling impactful initiatives, circular materials, and ethical practices that will forever reshape the way we produce our clothes. Quest has worked extensively with various organisations across the globe to redefine fashion and scale impactful business cases.
