The NIRAS ALECTIA Foundation

The NIRAS ALECTIA Foundation, which is the majority shareholder of The NIRAS Group A/S, works with a clear vision to ensure the stable and long-term development of NIRAS with ambitions for social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

The Foundation was established in 1976 and according to the Foundation Charter, NIRAS’ profits must be reinvested into the company, promote the educational development and progress of engineers and technicians, and strengthen recognition of Danish engineering companies globally.
