SKANSKA NAMED INTERNATIONAL LEADER IN SUSTAINABILITY BY FINANCIAL TIMES
For the second consecutive year Skanska is named “ Climate Leader in Europe ” on the prestigious ranking collated by the Financial Times and the data insight company , Statista . Existing emissions data from 4,000 companies , as well as actions for reducing carbon emissions were reviewed , taking a range of criteria linked to verifiable data into account . Only 10 percent of the companies reviewed qualified for the list .
“ It is great to make it onto this list once , to make it twice is a true achievement . It is a proof among many that our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions are paying off . Our combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions declined in 2022 and are by the end of the first quarter this year 57 percent lower than our 2015 baseline . Our commitment to keeping up the pace to reach our target of net-zero carbon emissions , both in our own operations and in our value chain by 2045 , is partly reflected in the inclusion of emission reduction targets in the long-term incentive program for the top 400 leaders in Skanska ”, says Anders Danielsson , CEO of Skanska .
“ All our business units have developed climate plans outlining their actions , initiatives , and business cases for reducing emissions in line with Skanska Group ’ s overall targets . We continue to focus our efforts on scaling sustainable solutions and new innovations to further improve our efficiency and drive emission reductions . The ongoing energy crisis has enhanced the importance of an energyefficient and sustainably built environment . Skanska is well positioned to meet customer demand for competence and solutions within sustainability ”, says Lena Hök , EVP Sustainability and Innovation .
Skanska annually reports carbon dioxide emissions in its Annual and Sustainability Report as well as key figures in the quarterly report .
