Sustainability

Safety at work
Occupational safety and environmental protection are subject to fundamentally different conditions in our industry from those in stationary manufacturing industries. The measures to be taken have to be adapted to the changing conditions of our often temporary work sites.

In line with our decentralized organizational structure, compliance with standards for the safety of our employees at work is the responsibility of the operating units. They are supported by a corporate officer for work safety, a network of safety officers in the subgroups as well as comprehensive training programs. Staff and management are required to apply the knowledge gained from training in practice, and are also required to urge their colleagues to act safely. On the basis of a standardized global reporting system, the Executive Board and Safety Officer regularly deal with aspects of safety at work and use statistical analyses to identify any deficits, to take action as necessary and to establish goals for constantly improving work safety on a Group-wide basis.

Environmental protection
Effective measures for environmental protection play an important role in the design and execution of our temporary worksites. Already in the stages of planning and work preparation, specific precautions are taken to reduce noise, vibrations, dust and exhaust emissions.We apply environmentally friendly methods and technology throughout all project phases. Waste is effectively separated in order to recycle the maximum possible proportion. We take the utmost precautions with polluting substances in order to protect soil and water.

These examples show that for us, sustainability, climate protection and the conservation of resources are not just a matter of conviction, but are integral elements of our daily business.
