Who we are

Westbridge was founded in Frankfurt in 2015. At the beginning of 2022, we joined forces with sustainability experts Argentus and agradblue – two specialists in the fields of ESG due diligence, carbon analytics, energy audits and ESG consulting. This allows us to be a one-stop store for our clients, providing them with everything from consulting to implementation. Since mid-2022, we have also held a stake in the ESG data management company Quantrefy.

We are now represented in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg with a total of around 170 employees. As a result of the merger, we are a team that could not be more colorful. We have everything from suits and sneakers to wool sweaters – and that's a good thing! Because what unites and strengthens us is our passion.

We are convinced that it takes different attitudes, values and skills to make a difference. That's how we combine profitability, service orientation and motivation. This is what enriches us, as well as our clients.
