Workers who are not employees

This information is currently incomplete. Temporary workers are deployed at the operating entities to meet peak demand. The deployment of temporary workers is organised and managed by subcontractors, which is why STRABAG does not have access to the relevant data.

This information is currently unavailable. The developments in energy consumption for fuel, electricity, gas and pulverised lignite are currently being mapped. Data collection for other energy sources is being successively expanded. Decarbonisation measures, including energy efficiency measures, are being evaluated as part of the Group project “Roadmap to climate neutrality 2040”.

302-5

Reductions in energy requirements of products and services

This indicator is not applicable at STRABAG because of the non-standard nature of our products and services.

Emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODS)

This information is currently not available. STRABAG greenhouse gas accounting is currently limited to CO2, N2O und CH4. Work is underway to improve data quality and to publish emissions from ozone-depleting substances (ODS) in the coming reporting years.

305-7

Nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), and other significant air emissions

This information is currently not available. STRABAG greenhouse gas accounting is currently limited to CO2, N2O und CH4. Work is underway to improve data quality and to publish emissions from NOx, SOx and other significant emissions in the future.

Waste generated

CircularityEnvironmental indicators

This information is currently incomplete. STRABAG is working on expanding the collection of waste-related data. So far, the Group collects data for handled waste, i.e., waste that STRABAG receives or processes as part of its project business. For individual Group entities, waste directed to disposal and waste diverted from disposal (including preparation for reuse, recycling and other recovery processes) are quantified. The total volume of waste depends on the size and type of construction contracts (e.g., buildings, road demolition and removal, excavations or recycling activities) and on quality specifications. Since these specifications are determined by third parties, STRABAG has only limited influence on them. The total quantity is therefore not defined as a controllable variable.

At STRABAG, the risk analysis described in the chapter is not carried out for individual locations of operation, but for corporate, central and Group staff divisions. These are organisational units that are structured geographically or by business segment. The key risks also determine the focus of the Business Compliance Management System and the training concept.

Indicator 205-2-c is not applicable. The Supplier Code of Conduct is part of the GTCs between STRABAG and its suppliers and subcontractors. A survey of the number of all business partner contracts is not carried out. Indicator 205-2-d is not applicable. The Business Compliance Training Concept approved by the Management Board pursues a risk-based approach and is aimed primarily at STRABAG management. Structured and regular reporting on business compliance issues is provided to the Management Board and Supervisory Board. Indicator 205-2-e is not fully available. A geographical breakdown of employee training is not reported, as the training rate can only be analysed at the level of the divisions that operate across national borders.
