Sustainability

In the year under report, STRABAG adapted its existing sustainability strategy, which has been in place throughout the Group since 2021. In addition to a clear commitment to decarbonising STRABAG’s value chain, the sustainability strategy now includes other environmental topics and integrates aspects from the dimensions of social and governance

• Environment: Key action areas include a science-based pathway for reducing emissions to achieve the 1.5°C target and the implementation of measures to promote a circular economy and biodiversity.
• Social: We build for people and with people – our social action areas are designed to benefit not only our own employees, but also workers throughout our value chain as well as local communities and society in general.
• Governance: Sustainable corporate governance requires clear structures, processes and responsibilities. This helps us to ensure business integrity and to identify impacts, risks and opportunities at an early stage.

Details on our focus topics, as well as the corresponding targets and measures, can be found in the Group management report.

The Steering Committee Sustainability (SCS) manages the group-wide sustainability efforts and simultaneously oversees the achievement of the strategic sustainability goals. The composition and staffing of the SCS are determined based on the business areas and largely reflect our value chain. The representation and active participation of members of the Management Board in internal sustainability committees and initiatives ensures that sustainability is an integral part of management decisions. The Supervisory Board is involved in regular meetings and through the annual sustainability reporting on ESG topics.
