Innovation and experience in methodology, data and technology will be shared in response t rising demand for ecological expertise.
Myllium – which takes its name from the Nordic word mylla, meaning fertile ground, and the underground mycelium network, which connects trees, plants and fungi – is formed of seven companies. Combined, the members can offer more than 400 specialists in climate-related fields, from water management and sustainable land use to technical innovation, permitting, biodiversity and environmental law.
Sussex, UK-based Tyler Grange, a B Corp certified environmental consultancy, is one of the founding firms involved. Altenburg & Wymenga in the Netherlands, and Swedish entities Ecogain, Calluna, EnviroPlanning, and Örnbork Kyrkander are also listed as partners in the initiative.
‘I’m delighted to welcome Tyler Grange into the group. From our very early conversations, it was clear that we share a strong set of values and a common ambition to do business in a way that truly serves both people and planet,’ said Katarina Walter, Group CEO of Myllium, and previously CEO of Ecogain.
“In forming Myllium, we’ve created a handpicked collective of the most expert firms and leaders in field – creating a powerful platform from which we can scale, share expertise, and provide the best science-based innovative solutions to increasingly complex challenges,’ she continued. ‘By pooling our knowledge across disciplines and geographies, we’re perfectly positioned to support even the largest international clients, operating in an increasingly complex regulatory environment.’
Covering a vast range of subjects linked to climate and environmental actions, the focus will be on sharing best practices in methodology, data, technology and other areas of innovation. Following the launch, more like-minded companies are expected to sign up, expanding both the international reach and opportunities to collaborate.
‘We’re absolutely delighted to join Myllium, as a founding member,’ added Jon Berry, Managing Director of Tyler Grange. ‘We’ve been in talks with the network for a while and, along with the other companies, we’ve helped to shape what are now our collective values, vision and direction, which are very closely aligned to those we’ve lived by, for over 15 years, at Tyler Grange.
‘By coming together, we’re more strategically placed to influence people and the planet and to achieve our ambitious five-year strategy,’ he continued. ‘It will be business as usual at Tyler Grange – but even better. As it says on Myllium’s website: “We’re rooted. We’re collective. And it will be wild.’
