Sustainability

Through the many important projects we undertake and the innovative, sustainable solutions we use to deliver them, Skanska builds for a better society. Our values guide what we do and how we work, and this dual focus helps ensure a sustainable future for our people, customers and communities.

Our focus on sustainability

We focus on the sustainability areas where we can make the most significant positive contributions: health and safety, ethics, green, community investment, and diversity and inclusion. All of these areas relate to our core business and expertise, and are interconnected.

Ultimately, our goal is to grow from being a leader in each area to being an industry leader and authority within sustainability as a whole. Our sustainability leadership is also a business advantage, contributing to delivering profit and creating shareholder value.

Ethics

At Skanska, our ethical values help us deliver better solutions, projects and customer outcomes. They ensure that we do business with integrity and transparency.

Ethics

Health and safety

We are committed to ensuring that everyone who works with and for us returns home safely at the end of the working day. Our target is zero accidents. This is a huge challenge in an industry that often involves dangerous machinery, heavy loads and working at height.

Health and safety

Green

We are committed to making an active contribution to a green society.

Community investment

We are committed to supporting the communities in which we operate.

Diversity and inclusion

Our vision is to be recognised as a leader in diversity. We believe that to be truly diverse we must be an inclusive organisation – one that mirrors the societies in which we work.
