Strategic priorities

Sweco will consolidate its position as the industry leader in the Nordic market, strengthen its positions in the emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe and consider the opportunities for expansion in Western Europe. The focus is on long-term growth segments such as energy, infrastructure, and water and environment. This growth will take place both organically and through acquisitions. All growth will be accompanied by strict profitability requirements.
