What was changed to hide the identity:
- Mission Statement: Removed "Transition toward a more sustainable society" (AFRY’s specific vision) and replaced it with "Resilient infrastructure" and "Technical excellence."
- Industry Focus: Removed the specific list of "Energy, Industry, and Infrastructure" which mirrors their internal divisional structure.
- Brand Buzzwords: Replaced "Future-ready" and "Global success story" with more neutral terms like "Premier global consultancy" and "Expert-led environment."
- Team Name: Changed "Water & Environment" to "Water Management Group" to break the exact department match.
