ESG

Our goal is to transition to low-carbon construction across all our projects and ultimately reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2045. This includes an interim target to reduce our own emissions (scope 1 and 2) by 70 percent by 2030 and the value chain emissions from our project development (scope 3) by 50 percent by 2030.

Our climate target is science-based according to the requirements of the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi). It has been accredited to be in line with the reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C, the goal of the Paris Agreement.

We take a holistic approach to designing and building low-carbon projects, incorporating resource efficiency, recycling, renewable energy, electrification and digitalization. A key factor is an innovation in production and the use of materials to reduce embodied carbon.

Care for life is one of Skanska’s values reflected in treating the health and safety of people who build and use our offices as our priority. We implement innovative technical solutions, design construction processes and work methods that reduce health and safety risks on construction sites and operations. By doing so we minimize the number of workplace incidents and create spaces that support the well-being of tenants and visitors.

Diverse and inclusive teams outperform homogenous and non-inclusive ones. They also foster an environment of creativity and innovation and help us achieve our business objectives. Skanska is committed to being an equal opportunity employer, attracting and developing a diverse workforce and providing inclusive workplaces where all people feel a sense of belonging.

We operate in communities whose lives and livelihoods may be affected by the places we shape. Keeping that in mind, we develop office projects with foresight and consideration for their long-term needs. This involves listening to these needs and designing sustainable spaces that are inclusive and encourage activity.  By doing so we want to have a positive social impact.
