ESG

Decarbonising the Group is one of our key strategic priorities. To achieve our reduction targets – which have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) – we have identified the key levers through which we will contribute to the 1.5 °C goal. Based on energy consumption across the Group, concrete action areas have been defined to significantly reduce our emissions by 2030. Specifically, we aim to:

• reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 42%
• reduce Scope 3 emissions by 25%

We also strive to achieve climate neutrality by 2040. To reach these targets, we are focusing in particular on the transition to renewable energy sources as well as on the consistent electrification of our business activities and processes – especially in the area of construction machinery and production facilities.

To promote climate-friendly and environmentally sound construction, we have defined the circular economy as a key strategic topic and are committed to the responsible use of resources. By offering circular business models such as reconstruction, conversion and refurbishment, we support our clients in delivering sustainable construction projects. Internal guidelines and certified management systems set the direction in our projects, helping us to conserve resources and protect soils and the environement. In this way, we aim to reduce the negative impacts of our activities as a construction company on biodiversity and ecosystems.
