Work On Progress

Construction can also be done sustainable - that's the way we do things

At STRABAG, more than 89,000 creative and clever minds are endeavoring to make the future of the company and the construction industry more sustainable. We know the construction sector is responsible for 38 % of global greenhouse gas emissions. That means the challenge of reducing CO2 is truly significant. At the same time, we have the opportunity to make a tangible difference here. Because that is precisely what drives us: STRABAG wants to set the pace for the climate-friendly and resource-efficient construction of tomorrow.

In our Strategy 2030, we have set ourselves an ambitious goal: to achieve climate neutrality in our own business operations by 2040. We view the transformation required to achieve this as a commitment we have made to ourselves, and we employ targeted levers to make it happen: Through approximately 250 innovation and 400 sustainability projects, we collaborate with our technology and research partners on many levels to drive this progress.  It will be a lot of work, but we know how to tackle tough challenges, and we can build the bridge to a sustainable future. Work On Progress – our lighthouse projects across three major strategic areas illustrate what we mean by this. e.

CO2 emissions

Less is more when it comes to climate protection. Through specific projects, we are constantly working to reduce climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions across all areas of our business. This starts with low-emission raw material extraction all the way to the use of low-carbon concrete and steel types and extends to the electrification of vehicles and construction machinery.

Material & circular economy

No valuable raw materials are left to waste. Today, buildings are no longer the final destination for construction materials, but a stop in their life cycle. Even before they are used the first time, we have a look at how and in what form they can be reused.

Digitalization, processes & innovation

For us, progress means forging new paths and achieving better results. With digital tools and innovative technology, we build more quickly and more efficiently. Thus, the foundations of our structures are not only built from concrete, but from state-of-the-art data management as well.
