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
The green transition is impacting society at large, facilitated by the increasing amount of capital being directed in a sustainable direction. The complexity of these issues is driving demand for Sweco’s expertise in all business segments. Sweco carries out client projects that actively support sustainable development through measures such as designing resource-efficient and resilient urban areas and buildings; developing systems for renewable energy production, transmission and storage; reducing the climate impact of industries; expanding and restructuring transport infrastructure; and safeguarding valuable habitats and biodiversity.
Increase sustainability performance in client projects
In close dialogue with clients, Sweco works to further improve sustainability performance in ongoing projects through optimisation of design, choice of material, resource management and work methods. Using automation, digital solutions and AI, a project’s impact on the climate, environment, economy and society is calculated and Sweco’s experts propose appropriate measures to improve sustainability performance.
Act sustainably in our own operations
Sweco has a responsibility to act sustainably in its own operations and focus is on creating value for owners and clients, being an attractive and inspirational workplace for employees, reducing the environmental impact of its operations, and following business ethics and social guidelines.
