Financial Times names Skanska Climate Leader in Europe for 2025

Recognition marks fourth consecutive year of sustainability leadership.

STOCKHOLM, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Skanska has once again been named one of Europe's Climate Leaders by the Financial Times and data insights firm Statista - marking the fourth year in a row the company has earned this prestigious recognition. The 2025 ranking highlights businesses across all industries that have achieved significant progress in reducing their carbon footprints and driving sustainable innovation.

"This renewed recognition confirms that the direction we have chosen is the right one," said Anders Danielsson, President and CEO of Skanska. "It affirms our commitment to delivering transformative climate solutions that enable our customers to reach their sustainability goals and together driving progress across our industry."

Skanska is working towards a transition to low-carbon construction, with the long-term goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2045.

Lena Hök, Executive Vice President for Sustainability and Innovation, said Skanska's scale and wide-ranging experience also empowered customers to reduce their climate and environmental impacts. "Our expertise in sustainable solutions for materials, energy efficiency and the opportunities that come from using emerging technologies allows us to maximize resource and energy savings across the project lifecycle," she said.

"These range from the use of emission-free equipment on construction sites to enhanced energy efficiency in the properties we develop, which achieve high levels of certification.

 "We see the greatest potential for impact when we're part of the planning and design stages, with our customers."

Hök sees emerging technology and other innovative solutions making an increasing impact: "Looking forward, we see a demand for resilient and sustainable construction solutions," she said. "Advances in digital transformation, especially through generative AI, unlock greater opportunities to leverage data for smarter and more resource-efficient use of energy and materials."

Skanska reports its carbon emissions annually through its Annual and Sustainability Report, alongside key performance indicators in its quarterly updates.

This year's Climate Leaders list includes 600 companies across Europe, doubling the number originally featured when the list launched in 2021. The rankings are based on an in-depth review of emission intensity and transparency among thousands of companies.
