Cementation Skanska Limited commits to becoming Net Zero by 2045 from its 2015 baseline year.
Cementation Skanska Limited is a UK-based construction and civil engineering company, specialising in piling and ground engineering. It is a subsidiary of the global construction conglomerate, Skanska AB. The company employs around 400 people and primarily operates in the United Kingdom, with a significant presence in London. It does not have any prominent subsidiaries.
Mass timber replacing steel Constructing wall, ceiling and roof panels with wood instead of steel and concrete can reduce the carbon footprint of a building and provide aesthetic designs and surfaces. We build homes, offices and hotels in timber, and are seeing a revival in interest for this material across market sectors. At Portland International Airport, we constructed a mass timber roof, reducing carbon emissions by 6 percent compared to steel.
Emissions are further reduced by using innovative design, digital carbon-calculation tools, efficient transport systems, renewable energy, and electric vehicles and machinery. In Norway a test project to optimize movement of construction machines, using the digital tool called Ditio, cut usage of fuels on site by 10 percent. The ongoing energy crisis has further sharpened the need for energy-efficient products and solutions.
In addition to delivering energy-efficient products to our customers, we have had a strong focus on operational efficiency throughout our history. In recent years, Skanska’s climate plans and targets have included actions to improve operational efficiency, leading to a reduction in energy intensity (energy use/SEK M revenue) of 36 percent between 2015 and 2022. In 2022 the energy intensity was 6.
33 MWh/SEK M compared to 9.94 MWh/SEK M in 2015.
