For HOCHTIEF, climate change has long been a fundamental and central focus in its Group-wide environmental sustainability strategy. We plan to expand this strategic focus with the aim of making all our business activities climate-neutral in the long term (for further information, please refer to HOCHTIEF’s GHG reduction targets), and with the goal of supporting our clients through our projects in successfully adapting to climate change. To this end, HOCHTIEF has gathered data on greenhouse gases for over ten years and worked continuously on methodically improving Group-wide coverage, accuracy, and tracking in order to facilitate avoiding and effectively managing GHG emissions in all activities.

Collaboration with clients and business partners is essential for implementing sustainability measures. This includes proposing project-specific, low-emission solutions, promoting sustainable design, and increasing the proportion of projects with early contractor involvement. The collaboration drives the transformation of the construction and infrastructure sector toward greater sustainability. Measures include promotion of sustainable design, circular design, project certification, and sustainable travel solutions.
