We provide creative and innovative solutions for environmental issues in the Netherlands and in the world. Together with our clients we strive to improve the living environment where people live and work. Important subjects in our work are noise, vibrations and air quality are important subjects. Our solutions are high quality, smart and practical. We operate close to our clients, as partners, and easily switch between multiple aspects of our clients' needs. We are organised such than we can respond flexibly to changing market needs and external circumstances. We are a company with client-oriented, commercially skilled and innovative employees. We have a flat organisational structure, where employees have both influence and responsibility.

EU Legislative Interests
M+P is highly interested in the European Noise Directive (END) and directives 2015/996 (CNOSSOS-EU) and 2021/1226, regarding noise mapping, action planning and harmonized noise assessment methods. This includes all sources of environmental noise: road, rail and air traffic, industrial sources, wind turbines, etc. We closely follow the activities of the EEA and WHO on the subjects of environmental noise and health effects, and contribute to these activitities wherever possible. This includes policy development and cost-benefit related issues, such as external costing. We are following and participating in activities on road vehicle and tyre noise, through organisations like the UNECE Working Party on Noise (GRB) and the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR). We are also active on railway noise for e.g. UIC and we work for the Environmental Protection Agencies gathered in the EPA Network. Besides environmental noise, we follow activities regarding CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions, air quality and energy consumption, mainly related to road, rail and air traffic.
