We are actively engaged to improve ethics across our industry. Since 2001, we have been a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact, and in 2004 we helped establish the World Economic Forum’s Partnering Against Corruption Initiative.
We educate our employees to always do the right thing, we only work with customers and partners that do not require us to compromise our own high standards and we never take shortcuts.
Skanska is an integral part of society, and what we do goes beyond the projects we complete for our customers. As the leading green contractor and developer we are helping to drive the industry towards ever more sustainable solutions. We encourage society to be greener through our work with government, industry bodies, customers and suppliers. We are a good neighbour and strive to leave a positive legacy in the communities in which we work.
