Implementing Solutions
PHGD is an ideas-driven business. It’s also a solutions-oriented group of companies with a broad range of consulting expertise across all areas of contemporary transformations as well as hands-on technical expertise across the renewable energy field.

PHGD offers ideas, anchored in cutting-edge science, with a particular emphasis on the social and human sciences. Making sense of how culture, environment and technology relate to one another is, ultimately, to reflect on what it is to be human in a world such as ours. That's a philosophical horizon - but it's also a very practial challenge.

On our ideas pageyou can have a look at the working papers, publications and videos that show our approach to research and innovation.

That's why PHGD supports transforming practices, helping clients to assess their starting points, to define relevant responses and to explore options for change - including technological possibilities. At the core of our expertise are the production and consumption practices that environmental transformation depends on. In particular, under the Hagrath brand, PHGD develops original protocols for transformatives practices towards environmental reorientation - practices through which transformation becomes concrete, lived experience. Catharsis , in a non-profit setting, develops concepts and methods for transformative practices. TrustInside specializes in trust-assessment and trust-building tools.

And PHGD provides solutions in all its action areas. For instance, for decentralized electricity production, with a special focus on reinventing small-scale wind through the Flexeole..

On our projects pagepage, you can find details on what we're actually doing in all these areas.
