About us
POVVIK is a leading independent consulting company in the field of ecology and environmental protection, engineering-technical, natural science and socio-economic aspects of sustainable development.
The company has a long history and was established in 1989 as the first Bulgarian private company in the field of environmental protection.
Initially, the company provided consulting and design services related to water supply and wastewater treatment, which is reflected in the Bulgarian abbreviation used for its name.
Through the years POVVIK expanded the range of its services to include assessments of environmental and social impacts of investment projects, strategic environmental assessments of plans and programs, audits and due diligence studies, field surveys, appropriate assessments, collection, processing and analysis of geospatial data in geographic information systems (GIS), Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) permits, and other permits related to environmental protection.
Following Bulgaria’s accession to the European Union, the company is actively seeking opportunities to expand and develop its activities in a regional context as well as within the European Community. For this reason, in December 2007, POVVIK became part of the Nordic Finnish Consulting Group (FCG), a leading consulting and engineering group of companies in the field of environmental management, institutional capacity building, design and supervision.
Our company is expanding its portfolio to include climate change mitigation and adaptation services. In response to global trends, we now offer greenhouse gas inventory and calculation services, alongside corporate sustainability reporting support. By tailoring these services to regional and local contexts, we provide more focused solutions and deeper insights.
The increasing importance of the local context in the global challenges and uncertainties has determined services and products suitable to ensure the successful development of our clients in local and regional markets (Bulgaria and the Balkans). At the end of 2024, the company returned to its original name – POVVIK. By adapting its services to the local context, POVVIK has increased their quality and efficiency through more focused solutions.
