DNV acquires Enviroguide consultancy

Posted on 14 July 2023

Assurance provider DNV has acquired Enviroguide Consulting, an environmental consultancy based in Dublin, Ireland.

Enviroguide provides environmental and sustainability consultancy services covering areas including biodiversity, contaminated land, waste management & licensing, ESG, Infrastructure Planning and Environmental Impact Assessment services to support sustainable development for public and private sector customers.

The group has doubled in turnover over the last two years and DNV forecasts it will grow its environmental services further as Ireland is the fastest-growing economy in the EU.

The deal strengthens DNV’s foothold in the region and expands the company's comprehensive portfolio of environmental solutions.

DNV group president and chief executive Remi Eriksen said: “Safeguarding biodiversity has become essential for companies driving the energy transition. The acquisition of Enviroguide supports DNV’s ambition to expand its biodiversity and environmental services portfolio.

“Together, Enviroguide and DNV will be able to provide our customers with a comprehensive biodiversity, environmental, and waste management services portfolio that are critical to the success of all energy projects.”

Operations director at Enviroguide Consulting Janet O’Shea added: “I am delighted that we are joining DNV and the move is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team to date.

“I believe the synergy between our organisations will enable us to expand our environmental consultancy and ecology services as we continue to provide exceptional services to our customers. This partnership with DNV, with its global reach, will really give us the opportunity to expand our team and services in the future.”
