How does �鶹��ý approach sustainability?

�鶹��ý’s sustainability approach centers on four key pillars: climate, circularity, nature and people.

Climate

�鶹��ý’s science-based targets for our net-zero pathway are among the industry’s most ambitious. Our 2030 and 2050 net-zero targets are aligned with the 1.5°C framework and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Circularity

We’re building cities from cities with our ECOCycle proprietary circular technology³. Our ambition is to recycle over 20 million tons of construction demolition materials (CDM) into new building solutions by 2030.

³ Guarantees a minimum of 10% and up to 100% recycled construction demolition materials by total product weight.

Nature

�鶹��ý is focused on building a nature-positive future with our broad range of solutions to bring nature into cities, while reducing freshwater withdrawals by 33% versus 2020 and protecting biodiversity.

People

Our 50 000 �鶹��ý people are united by the �鶹��ý Spirit of Purpose, People and Performance. We’re committed to creating the best workplace, where talent is nurtured, employees are engaged and Health and Safety is top priority.
