We are partners for the sustainable development of our societies, Designing Sustainable, Responsible and Long-Lasting Buildings and Infrastructure.
The Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry (AEC) stands at the forefront of reshaping our current development paradigm. Since QUADRANTE's establishment in 1998, we have wholeheartedly embraced our role as designers and consultants, dedicated to delivering cutting-edge solutions that transform ordinary structures into extraordinary landmarks.
At QUADRANTE, we hold current and future world development challenges close to our hearts. We recognise our pivotal role in guiding our clients toward better choices and building upon our responsibility to deliver responsible, resilient, and increasingly more sustainable Buildings and Infrastructure, which can leave a positive socioenvironmental legacy on our world.
We work daily to develop environmental, social, and economic good practices that foster a sustained equilibrium in the systems we engage with. We aim to design and create value through responsible actions, establishing partnerships with our stakeholders to promote sustainable, responsible, and long-lasting outcomes.
Continuously acting as true partners of change, we want to support our stakeholders in creating an environmentally responsible, socially just and inclusive, and economically sustainable world. Follow our journey bellow:
Our Approach
Acknowledging the importance of the infrastructures and buildings we design for our clients, societies, and environment, we have defined sustainable development as one of our principles and sustainability as one of the desirable outcomes of our work.
Focused on sustainably delivering value to our clients and society in general, we have put forward our 2025 Sustainability Commitment, intending to support the transition towards increasingly more sustainable societies.

We champion sustainable business practices that generate value for our stakeholders and society, both in the present and for generations to come. Our Sustainability Policy acts as a guiding principle, unifying all companies within the QUADRANTE Group as catalysts for sustainable development.
Our goal is to strike a harmonious equilibrium between our organisation's socioeconomic needs, our projects' ambitions, the expectations of our stakeholders, and the Earth's capacity to renew its resources. Through this, we endeavour to achieve positive and meaningful outcomes, contributing to a pure and brighter future.

Portfolio - Through an enhanced service offering, we provide products that are increasingly in line with the UN SDGs and make a meaningful contribution to building a better world.
Products - While we ensure the optimisation and enhancement of our projects’ design upstream, downstream, we measure their contribution by identifying the portion of related revenues that contributes to our Core SDGs.
