At Aarsleff, success is also measured by the way we take responsibility for our surroundings.
Both in our own projects and when we enter into collaborations, it is a priority to focus on minimising the negative impacts that our activities have or may have on environmental and climate factors (E), social factors (S) and governance factors (G). In this way, we also help our customers and collaboration partners minimise their negative footprint. Our work is also confirmed in several of our policies, which can be found under Corporate social responsibility.
Special focus on environmental and climate impacts
Environment and climate are a Group theme across all Aarsleff's companies. We want to contribute to the construction industry minimising its negative impacts on the environment and climate and to ensure that our Group has a common approach that brings benefits to our customers, employees and society, so that we can continue to provide the best solutions.
Many of our projects contribute to the green transition of society in relation to, for example, building construction with care, vital infrastructure, renewable energy and climate proofing.
To improve our environmental and climate impact, our work is based on four strategic focus areas:
- Emissions: We focus on reducing our emissions – both in our own production and in our value chain. We have a special focus on choice of materials and fuel, idling, construction site logistics and technical building solutions.
- Circular economy: We focus on minimising waste and increasing the level of reuse and recycling.
- Biodiversity: We are committed to maintaining, protecting and strengthening the biodiversity on land and in the sea. Read, for example, Aarsleff’s guide to biodiversity on land.
- Data: We collect and use data to qualify and optimise our environmental and climate initiatives.
Through collaborations with research institutions, suppliers and other stakeholders in the industry, we contribute to the development of innovative solutions that show consideration for the environment and the needs of future generations. Because environmental and climate challenges are global and cannot be solved by silo thinking. You can read about our partnerships on the projects Future green construction sites and (P)recast.
