Material topics

Material factors and aspects for STRABAG are those which
  • influence the future business activity of the group,
  • encourage or delay the attainment of the strategic priorities,
  • are seen as relevant by stakeholders and influence their decisions,
  • as well as economic, societal or environmental aspects upon which STRABAG has a relatively strong influence through its activity.

The following issues have been identified through the stakeholder dialogue and the materiality analysis.
  • Energy and emissions
  • Materials
  • Digitalisation and innovation
  • Waste and circularity
  • Client satisfaction
  • Occupational safety
  • Strategic human resource development Health protection
  • Fair competition

For the nine issues that are of material importance for our competitiveness and long-term existence, a management approach was developed by the person responsible within the group. The management approach makes clear
  • how we ensure priority treatment within the group (rules, responsibilities and due diligence areas)
  • which figures we develop as key performance indicators (objectives and indicators)
  • and what sorts of measures we set to reach our targets (projects and initiatives)

We also report on the following topics:

Information on the subject of gender equality (“Equal treatment of women and men”) can be found in the Consolidated Corporate Governance Report.


For the 2022 financial year, the materiality analysis from the previous year was used and reviewed in terms of its relevance, completeness and plausibility. Changes in stakeholder expectations as well as current external developments, e.g., the energy crisis, the Covid-19 pandemic, extreme weather events in Europe and the increased supply chain due diligence requirements, were taken into account. Many of the material topics that were identified have thus gained in relevance compared to the previous year. The results of the updated materiality analysis were reviewed by internal experts and validated and approved by the Management Board. Overall, the impact of STRABAG’s business activities on the economy, environment and people was assessed using the following 19 topics:


1Topic is reported in the Non-Financial Report as a NaDiVeG concern
