Three perspectives on sustainability

At Sweco, experts with different perspectives and knowledge gather to take advantage of innovation and technology and, together with our clients, contribute to the best solutions from all dimensions – environmentally, socially and economically.

Sweco’s sustainability work is focused on three strategic perspectives where the company can have a direct or indirect impact.

Carry out client projects that contribute to sustainable development

Resilience and the green transition are driving demand for Sweco’s expertise in all business segments. Sweco consultants carry out client projects that actively support sustainable development by designing resource-efficient and climate-adapted urban areas and buildings, developing sustainable energy solutions and reducing the climate impact of industries and transportation.

Increase sustainability performance in client projects

In close dialogue with clients, Sweco works to further improve sustainability performance in ongoing projects through, for example, optimisation of design, choice of material, resource management and work methods. By increasing the use of automation, digital solutions and AI in client projects, Sweco’s consultants can more easily visualise and calculate impact on the climate, environment and economy, and propose appropriate measures to improve sustainability performance.

Act sustainably in our own operations

Sweco has a responsibility to act sustainably in its own operations. The company focuses on creating value for owners and clients, being an attractive workplace for employees, reducing the environmental impact of its operations and following business ethics policies. The company’s Group-wide goals is for its operations to achieve net-zero by 2040, with emissions halved by 2030, and to achieve a 40 per cent share of female employees in the Group by 2040.
