We build for the future, today.
Our longtime leadership in sustainable construction and development provides us with the expertise to help our customers deliver on their leading edge environmental and healthy building ambitions. By leveraging our national and international experience, we can efficiently use natural resources and be a better neighbor in our communities. Green, healthy building is good business and critical to protecting our planet and the health and wellbeing of end users.
The built environment accounts for nearly 40 percent of carbon emissions globally, with 11 percent embodied in construction materials and 28 percent stemming from building operations. As a company that cares for life, we recognize the current climate crisis and, more importantly, the responsibility of our industry to take action. Skanska is leading the charge and has set an ambitious target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 in our own operations and across our entire value chain.
Skanska has been a pioneering member of the green construction and development community for over 20 years. We partner with organizations seeking to transform the industry, and we are active participants in researching and deploying sustainable construction practices.
In order to reduce the amount of carbon we’re putting into the atmosphere and to help combat climate change on a global level, we have made building green a priority. In building and civil operations, we are recognized as industry leaders in green construction practices. Our development projects integrate sustainability into each stage of the process, from land acquisition to building operations. We are increasingly focused on optimizing building design to minimize both embodied and operational carbon.
We build for a better society.
