Except is a leading consultancy and design agency helping to build the foundations of a sustainable society and create a better future that is healthy, regenerative, and just.
Operating globally since 1999, and as one of Europe's first sustainability consultancies, Except is one of the pioneers of using a systems thinking approach, ensuring resilient and human-centric solutions and strategies for urban development, real estate, organizations, policy-making, and industry.
The results of our work are diverse:
- Resilient businesses models and competitive strategies
- Self-sustaining cities and neighborhoods
- Symbiotic industrial agro-parks
- Regenerative agriculture and resorts
As a social enterprise and certified B-Corp, we believe in purpose in addition to profit. So too do our team of 20+ scientists, architects, engineers, designers, researchers, and innovators, tasked with taking sustainable development and circular economy to the next level.
Except utilizes the Symbiosis in Development (SiD) integrated systems thinking framework, helping to find the root causes of our most significant issues and design interventions and systemic levers for change.
