SUSTAINABLITY

Construction as the catalyst for a sustainable future

Construction sector is responsible for a significant part of our physical environment – the buildings we live in, the roads we drive and the infrastructure we use for our daily convenience. Consequently, it shapes the future development of cities, communities, and societies. The projects developed today become either a burden or a benefit for the future generations seeking greener and more sustainable solutions.

 

As one of the leading construction companies in the Baltic region, INHUS makes focused commitments to stimulate the transition towards a more sustainable society throughout the value chain. This means adhering to the globally accepted standards as well as continuously seeking new ways to achieve a net positive impact. We pride ourselves as an inventive company, continuously pushing the boundaries to deliver higher quality and performance solutions. This strategy is a structured approach to use INHUS culture of innovation to achieve focused, measured and impactful results towards a more sustainable company and a more sustainable future.

Sustainability focus areas

The sustainable practice planning process allowed us to identify the most pressing societal and environmental needs which we can impact. We then formulated a unique approach to address them, combining clear business commitments with engaging cultural initiatives that establish sustainability as part of the organisational INHUS DNA. Achieving long-term sustainability requires an organisation that is sustainable in its business as well as its beliefs.

CO2 REDUCTION THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING LIFECYCLE

By analysing the whole building lifecycle we were able to determine the impact of our operations in different stages and set focused and measurable actions to reduce CO2 emissions and – where relevant – the overall impact of construction operations.

Prefabrication is a more integrated, more efficient and less disruptive construction option. We seek to make a positive impact on sustainability by leveraging the benefits of prefabrication and making holistic commitments through the entire value chain.

Innovation stands as the key element of INHUS culture. We believe that it will help us achieve our ambitious sustainability targets and foster a transition towards a more sustainable society.

 

While there still remain low hanging fruits to pick, most of the change will be achieved by consistently performing incremental upgrades to our operations in the next 30 years. Such transformation requires the ability to examine and rework our business modus operandi with creative revisions.

 

Consequently, we have expanded the foundational understanding of a sustainable workplace (defined by safety, zero discrimination, fair compensation, career growth) to include fostering inventiveness, experimentation and creativity. In this section we include actions that encourage these organisational traits.
