Our Business Model
Competence and innovation, governance and sustainability: the strategic levers at the base of our business model
Webuild contributes to the achievement of 11 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a business model built on efficiency, innovation and responsible business conduct.
In a global context characterized by population growth and urbanization, resource scarcity and climate change, infrastructure represents a key lever for addressing emerging needs from society and supporting sustainable development over the long-term.
Webuild’s business model is designed to ensure excellence in the delivery of complex projects, optimizing quality, time and costs for clients while generating economic, social and environmental value for all stakeholders.
In this journey, Webuild acts as a strategic partner to its clients by delivering complex infrastructure able to efficiently address the current megatrends and supporting the transition towards more sustainable development models.
The business model is built around three distinctive strategic drivers:
- Expertise and innovation, to develop advanced engineering solutions and improve operational efficiency;
- Centralized governance, ensuring control, integrated risk management and consistency across processes;
- Sustainability, fully integrated into decisions and projects throughout the entire lifecycle of infrastructure assets.
Through this approach, Webuild contributes to the creation of shared value for shareholders, investors, clients, employees, partners and communities, generating positive impacts in the territories where it operates.
The infrastructure delivered by the Group is not only an expression of engineering excellence, but also a tangible solution for improving people’s quality of life, advancing the climate transition and supporting economic and social development.
Business model
Building projects by building skills
Every project reflects the work of thousands of specialists. The future of infrastructure is built primarily on the skills of the people who realize it.
Talent and professionalism serving the future
In an era of great transformation—across mobility, energy, and water—infrastructure translates visions of the future into lasting works. Great works are built by skilled people. Webuild engages approximately 95,000 workers worldwide, who receive over 1 million hours of training annually. We continuously invest in their technical skills, leadership, and innovation across the entire production chain.
#WePromote a Sustainable World
The principles of sustainable development are fully integrated into Webuild’s business model and guide every stage of the Group’s activities, from decision-making processes to project delivery.
This approach is reflected in a structured Sustainability Strategy, which identifies infrastructure sustainability and construction site sustainability as the two pillars underpinning the Group’s commitment and reputation.
Webuild designs and delivers projects that contribute to sustainable development, generating shared value for communities, clients and stakeholders.
At the same time, the Group adopts a robust framework of policies and management systems that ensures compliance with the highest ethical, integrity, social and environmental standards.
Corporate Governance
In recent years, Webuild has strengthened its organizational structure by enhancing its corporate culture and promoting the active involvement of key decision-making and operational functions.
This journey is aimed at ensuring effective oversight of all core processes, from commercial planning through to the bidding and execution phases.
Such oversight is ensured through a centralized governance model, implemented through Corporate “Competence Centers”. These play a key role in disseminating Group best practices and guidelines across all subsidiaries, while optimizing expertise, knowledge sharing and operational synergies throughout the value chain.
Through this model, Webuild reinforces risk management, including reputational risk management, and protects brand value, ensuring consistency, efficiency and control across the Group’s operations.
