This world was built over long periods of time - and is renewed every day. From a social point of view, living and building can no longer be separated. We spend most of our lives living, studying and working in buildings. Building is therefore inevitable and of fundamental social, economic and cultural importance. At a high price. In order to create and use structures, natural resources are currently very heavily used. In this way, society as a whole bears responsibility for the consequences that arise from the development of the natural environment. The construction sector is also of central importance economically: 12% of the gross domestic product of the European Union alone is attributable to construction investments. In addition, 42% of final energy consumption and around 35% of CO 2-Emissions from the construction and real estate sectors. Therefore, as a construction company, we are aware of a special responsibility, but as a service provider we cannot influence all decision-making processes for the construction of a building from the start. Nevertheless, on the one hand, we continuously question our manufacturing process and try to minimize resource consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. On the other hand, we develop new technologies to enrich our product portfolio with more environmentally friendly innovations. In the real estate sector, for example, we offer the construction of sustainable properties, which are particularly characterized by their high energy efficiency, or we develop technologies for generating renewable energies. Another approach is the early involvement of our customers in the planning of the structures through our teamconcept . This enables us to show our customers the various possibilities for developing our built environment in order to find the best possible solution. In addition to ecological issues, our activities also include ethical and social aspects. We meet the far-reaching and complex requirements of a comprehensive CSR agenda through six central areas of activity: Economic responsibility o Maintain and reinforce an economically solid foundation Ecological responsibility o reduce our and our customers' impact on the environment Social responsibility o Creating values with and for society Employees and the workplace o Provide an attractive environment for talented employees Mission and vision o Continuous development of our strategic direction Values and compliance o Adhere to and improve standards >> back Published on the website on December 29, 2011 - Last published on March 12, 2012 21:57:53 STRABAG SE | Donau-City-Str. 9 | 1220 Vienna | Austria | Tel. +43 1 22422-0 | pr@strabag.com
