Get to know our team

The ekovert Łukasz Szkudlarek company was founded in 2009. The company's greatest assets are the people who make it up and their many years of experience in environmental protection.

Each member of our team is different and each brings something new with them. We are not just co-workers, but a team with common interests.

In and out of work, we seek inspiration, which over time become our passions. Travelling, skiing, snowboarding, climbing, running, cycling, sailing, kitesurfing, wingfoiling but also gardening, sewing on a machine, painting, the secrets of make-up and styling or, last but not least, a love of books and films, make us people who enjoy what we do.

Passions allow us to explore, dream and discover, as well as to gain distance and look at everyday responsibilities from a new perspective.

Just as in life, we do not shy away from challenging, non-standard projects at work - they are what keep us constantly evolving. Finally, what sets us apart from other companies is our genuine and practical desire to protect the environment, and to the question ‘Should Trees Have Standing?’ posed by Christopher D. Stone, we answer Yes(!) - that is our job. At the same time, we are able to reconcile the interests of investors and public entities with environmental protection like no one else. This also translates into the company's mission, which is full commitment and professionalism in providing services for the environment in which we live. To this end, the company cooperates with the best experts, bringing together Polish scientific potential to carry out even the most demanding tasks.
