Promoting innovation. Reducing emissions.

Sustainability is a central pillar of STRABAG’s corporate strategy. A special focus of this strategy is the reduction of carbon emissions in all areas of our work – from the office to the construction site. It is our goal to reduce our carbon footprint in all processes and own operations until we become completely emission-free.

The production of building materials and the construction of buildings and other structures is currently responsible for 10 % of direct and indirect carbon emissions worldwide. The operation of buildings accounts for a further 28 %. Taken together, this amounts to 38 % of the global emissions burden. For this reason, STRABAG is doing everything in its power to reduce our energy consumption and to lower carbon emissions in our own operations – whether in the production of building materials, transport and construction work, or office operations. Emissions that we cannot avoid through energy efficiency measures or through the use of carbon-neutral energy sources are compensated for in as practical and intelligent a manner as possible.

Looking for progress? Right this way!
