This project built by Beers Construction, a Skanska Group company, demonstrates how creative thinking and practical solu- tions can increase recycling of building ma- terials during the construction process. It proved possible to recycle both metal and concrete in an environmentally sound way and also to reduce costs. Environmental Policy Skanska’s Environmental Policy Our vision is that Skanska shall become the world’s leading com- pany in construction-related services and in project development. This requires, among other things, that all of us take environmental issues seriously. What we do today affects the environment of both current and fu- ture generations. Caring about people and the environment must the- refore permeate all of our work. This responsibility rests with all of us. Our environmental awareness will help us prevent and minimize ad- verse environmental impact and improve our operations, thereby ge- nerating new business opportunities. We must be open-minded in our dialogue with others. In order to be successful, we need knowledge and commitment. We shall always follow these principles in our work at Skanska: • Think ahead about how your work will affect the environ- ment. • Ask questions and obtain help if you are unsure. Use common sense. • Be cautious and avoid materials or methods if you cannot pro- perly assess their environmental risks. • Bear in mind that there are circumstances where, due to envi- ronmental risks, we should not participate. • Choose or propose environmentally better alternatives when this makes sense. • Conserve natural resources. Every operative unit must build up an environmental management system and set its own environmental goals in order for our environ- mental policy to yield results in our daily work. Legislation and the environmental demands of our clients provide a foundation for our environmental ambitions. Beyond this, we shall endeavor to make continuous improvements. All operations shall have environmental management systems in place no later than De- cember 31, 1999 and be certified no later than December 31, 2000. By letting responsibility for the environment and the future per- meate our day-to-day work, we will gain the confidence and respect of others.
