Sustainability strategy

Our strategy for the environmental and social transformation

The climate crisis: it is one of the greatest challenges of our time. The construction industry contributes significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions due to its enormous consumption of energy and resources. Construction activity has a significant impact on nature and society. Due to our small-scale and complex supply chains, arise in the area of social sustainability, which we must address with foresight.

At STRABAG, we recognise our responsibility as a leading construction technology group

This is why STRABAG adopted its first sustainability strategy back in 2021. Even then, we committed to decarbonising the value chain by 2040.

To successfully implement the diverse aspects of sustainability at STRABAG, we have expanded our existing sustainability strategy to include additional topics from the areas of the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance. With this we send a clear message: sustainability is relevant across the board. Starting with the legal requirements and the demands of our stakeholders up to and including new findings in the area of biodiversity loss.

In the area of environmental sustainability, our goal is to minimise STRABAG's negative impact on the environment. A key lever for this is to significantly reduce our consumption of resources and energy. In addition to decarbonisation, we are also focusing on the topics of circular economy and biodiversity and ecosystems.
