Green transition and social responsibility are catalysts for a profound development of the construction industry. At MT Højgaard Holding, we welcome this development, and sustainability themes play a central role in our strategy for the Group’s future development. We structure our sustainability strategy according to the holistic ESG approach, which includes climate and environment, circular economy, employees, social conditions in the value chain and local communities, and corporate governance.
Green transition and social responsibility as a driving force
Climate and environment
A leading player in the green transition and circular economy
Social responsibility
A healthy, safe and diverse workplace and value chain - and a positive player in local communities
Ethical business management
Fair and professional corporate governance with zero tolerance for unethical behaviour
Sustainability and responsibility are key pillars in the Group’s strategic development. We want to be known and recognised for sustainable solutions throughout the construction lifecycle.
We recognise the significant impact of construction on climate and the environment and want to promote more ambitious framework conditions for the industry, while at the same time working to limit our negative impact as much as possible.
Our sustainability strategy is based on the holistic approach of ESG (Environment-Social-Governance) and includes broad efforts in areas such as climate, environment, circular economy, employees, social conditions in the value chain and local communities, and corporate governance.
Our approach to sustainability is data-driven. Reliable data is essential for us to take action where we can make the biggest difference. All business units in the group measure and report on ESG data, which is consolidated at group level and reported in the annual sustainability report.
