EXPO 2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates / October 1, 2021 – March 31, 2022
As an official partner of the Swedish Pavilion for EXPO 2020, Sweco will showcase its expertise and capability as Europe’s leading architecture and engineering company. We will highlight a number of the most innovative solutions to build a sustainable society under the pavilion’s theme of “Co-creation for Innovation”.
Please join us at EXPO in Dubai in the ongoing discussion about how to plan and design the sustainable communities and cities of the future. Together with citizens, clients and societies, we co-create solutions to address urbanisation, capture the power of digitalisation, and make our societies more sustainable.
Respecting the past, while exploring the new through the use of creative solutions was the approach taken by our team in partnership with the client, during the renovation of the Swedish National Museum.
Sweco’s sustainability work is primarily delivered from three focus areas – climate and the external environment, employees, and business ethics. Focusing on these areas helps Sweco contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement.
Our business ethics framework includes our Code of Conduct, risk assessments for projects and suppliers, and procedures for reporting and managing incidents. The Code of Conduct establishes Sweco’s and our employees’ view on the company’s social responsibilities, covering business ethics, employee development, labour rights, human rights, equality and diversity, and occupational health and safety and we never compromise with our Code of Conduct.
Further, Sweco is a signatory to the United Nations Global Compact which is a corporate sustainability initiative that advocates ten universal principles based on international conventions within human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.
The principles and values expressed in our Code of Conduct and the UN Global Compact has guided our selection of partners and suppliers for Expo 2020. Read more about our work with Compliance here.
Expo 2020 Dubai will be the first World Expo ever hosted in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region. Through the theme of Connecting Minds, Creating the Future, the aim is to host a World Expo that inspires people by showcasing the best examples of collaboration, innovation and cooperation from around the world.
