Past and future
Their story
Quantis’ story began in 2006 in a lab at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL)… A few smart individuals banded together to make life cycle assessment applicable for business.
They soon joins forces with CIRAIG, a research group and center of expertise on sustainability and life cycle thinking based at Polytechnique Montréal, and EMPA, the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology.
Over the years, Quantis has continued to find new ways to innovate and amplify its impact. It’s extended its expertise beyond assessment, bringing on board business and communications specialists, corporate sustainability and industry professionals, software engineers and environmental experts.

Their vision
Sustainability isn’t just something Quantis fell into. It’s what has driven the group since day one. Since 2006, Quantis has approached environmental sustainability with scientific integrity and a steadfast mindset of reimagining the relationship between business and nature.
Today, Quantis is harnessing its metrics-based approach, environmental expertise and strategic business knowledge to transform companies and the corporate landscape as a whole. The more brains, hearts and hands we have on board, the better equipped we’ll be to secure our mission.
Sustainability’s scientists, experts, strategists, innovators and visionaries... Combining their unique superpowers, they’re working to redefine the rules of business and drive systemic change.

Motivated by this common purpose, our team of talented professionals cultivates a collaborative, innovative and pragmatic culture that we call the Quantis Spirit.
