2025 goals

We certify all our development projects according to established sustainability labels and strive to achieve the highest certification requirements. (e.g.SNBS, DGNB, SEED)

We reduce the CO₂ footprint (operational and embodied carbon) of our own development projects and consistently promote timber construction.

We systematically increase the share of renewable energies (e.g. by installing PV systems) and minimize the consumption of energy (including CO₂ emissions), water and waste in our own development projects. 

At least 75% of Implenia's award sum goes to subcontractors and suppliers who have been evaluated according to sustainability criteria and meet our increased requirements.

We adopt group-wide procurement guidelines with respect to sustainability criteria and train all purchasers and project managers.

We intensify cooperation with the largest and most relevant partners in our construction projects and agree on regular stakeholder dialogues and audits. 

In the project acquisition phase we place at least one focus on a sustainability topic and analyse for our clients systematically sustainability options. By doing so we lay the basis for a project-specific sustainability strategy.

We define our own standard for sustainable construction site management and audit and award our best projects annually.

We offer consulting services on sustainable construction as part of our range of services.

We consistently pursue our decarbonization strategy, reduce our annual sales-related CO₂ emissions in scope 1 and 2 of the entire group by 3% and by 15% by 2025 in comparison to 2020. In doing so, we annually collect our CO₂ footprint from each country in which we operate and define country-specific CO₂ reduction paths. 

We examine all of Implenia’s suitable roofs and façades for the use of solar panels with the aim of tripling internal solar power production to 3 GWh.

We improve the energy efficiency of all our production facilities and properties.

We define a group-wide mobility concept with fossil-free cars and implement specific concepts at each location with 50 or more employees.

We are continuously increasing the proportion of renewable energy in our electricity purchases and are aiming for 100% renewable energy in our properties and production facilities. 

We consistently report our environmental incidents categorized by severity and continuously reduce through corrective actions our annual environmental incidents to zero serious incidents.

We reduce construction waste, introduce waste separation systems on all our construction sites and increase the recycling rate to 100% for materials that can be separated in a technically sensible manner.

We establish our environmental organisation so that all our personnel have competent contact persons for environmental protection and are trained three times a year on an environmental topic.

We develop the Implenia circular strategy and create a common understanding of the topic.

We develop and test new business models that span the entire value chain and help to close material cycles.

We position ourselves as an important player in the field of circular economy, organize specialist events and advise customers on the subject.

We position Implenia as leading construction and real estate services provider in the field of sustainability via all media.

We promote sustainable actions of our employees in the office and on construction sites.

We continuously improve our safety performance through measurable actions.

We support the training and further education for our employees and are committed to long-term personnel development for blue collars and white collars. 

We create a modern and family-friendly work environment and continuously increase employees’ satisfaction within 5 years.

 We promote diversity & inclusion within our company and define a plan in each country with binding annual goals for this purpose.

Based on our group-wide sustainability goals, we define at least one binding annual sustainability goal with our employees.

We stand in our industry exemplarily for a successful «Corporate Social Responsibility» strategy.

We support social projects in all our markets financially or through the engagement of our employees and also get involved by participating in social events.

We strengthen or start our dialogue with politics, business and society in our markets. We therefore invite our most important stakeholders to a recurring exchange. 

We raise awareness of compliance among our employees through e-learning and personal training, thus minimizing the occurrence of compliance incidents.

We create structures and processes to maintain incident investigation and to handle compliance incidents professionally and promptly.

We require our partners to comply with our own compliance requirements and carry out targeted audits.

We continuously improve our sustainability reporting in terms of transparency, timeliness and materiality, and achieve improved results in the ESG-ratings relevant to us.

We define specific ESG-criteria that are incorporated into all investment decisions, awards of contracts and project bids. 

We develop, produce and operate real estate products on the basis of digital planning. 

We embed all sustainability topics into our management, support and core processes via Inspire and IMS.

We reduce the waste of resources and deficiency rates by applying Lean principles to all class 1-2 construction projects.
