We talk and walk green

We are proud of our commitment to the climate and as a signatory to the Copenhagen Communiqué and the earlier Bali and Poznan Communiqués. Skanska's Green Initiative

In 2000, Skanska was the first Development and Construction company to become globally ISO 14001-certified. Since then, we have gradually stepped up our green commitment.

Now we are

  • part of UN Global Compact
  • members of European Corporate Leaders Group on Climate Change
  • sponsors of the UNEP Sustainable Building & Construction Initiative
  • sponsors of the Energy Efficiency in Buildings initiative of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development
  • an EU GreenBuilding Partner
  • able to deploy over 500 LEED ® Accredited Professionals on our staff to guide our customers to greener solutions to their Built Environment needs
  • launching LEED ® in the Nordics and Central Europe
  • active participants in Green Building Councils in USA, UK, Czech Republic and Poland. 
  • helping establish Green Building Councils in the Nordic countries.

This year we gathered our most important ideas on building a Deep Green society in our book "Green thinking". 
 
Buildings account for around 40% of global energy demand and are therefore substantial producers of greenhouse emissions. But with our green solutions, we contribute to reducing the sector’s greenhouse effect.
