Webuild's sustainability strategy
Our commitment for a better world

#WePromote a Sustainable World
Webuild’s Sustainability Strategy is embedded in the Group’s business model and strategy and is underpinned by two key pillars: its contribution to global challenges and its unceasing commitment to acting responsibly.
Webuild's business is strongly oriented towards developing and building infrastructure that directly contributes to advancing the main Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs-oriented) and transition to a low-carbon economy.
Infrastructure projects can provide tangible solutions to improve people's quality of life in response to the major global megatrends posed by climate change, population growth, urbanization, and resource scarcity (such as water)..
Sustainable development principles permeate the entire Group, both at the core business level and in business practices, as they are an integral component of Webuild's business.
What we build is important to us, but even more important is how we build. Our infrastructure projects are designed to enhance the development and well-being of communities facing global challenges in a concrete way. We also act responsibly, contributing to the economic and social development of the territories where we work, protecting and enhancing people and the environment.
In fact, we daily invest in three sustainability “construction sites” with clear and declared ESG programmes and targets, as defined in our ESG Plan.

Webuild ESG Plan
The ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Plan of Webuild, consolidates a business strategy that is evermore oriented to attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by the United Nations, consolidating the Group's commitment to meeting the growing needs of stakeholders and global challenges, in an evermore tangible way.
In 2021, Webuild defined its first ESG Plan for the 2021-2023 three-year plan, centred on the 5P priority pillars (Planet, Propsperity, People, Partnerships, Progress) and on the three sustainability "construction sites" - Green Builders, safe & Inclusive Builders, Innovative and Smart Builders - in which the Group continues to invest resources.
2023 was the closing year of the ESG plan that began in 2021, through which Webuild reached and exceeded all of the established goals, further consolidating its positioning with regard to sustainability.
Confirming Webuild's constant commitment to tangibly meeting global challenges, at the beginning of 2024, new ambitious goals were set for 2025. Innovation, health and safety, circular economy, digitalization and inclusion represent the pillars of the new ESG Plan, tracing a clear roadmap towards the set goals.
The Group, with the new Plan, which is based on the same pillars that successfully led the Group during the last ESG Plan that ended in 2023 (Green, Safety & Inclusion, Innovation), the Group wishes to:
- Contributing to accelerating the climate transition towards a low-emission economy, by investing in clean technology, improving the environmental sustainability of projects during construction phases and of works during the usage phases;
- Representing the sector's benchmark in health and safety, skill development and diversity & inclusion terms;
- Contributing to improving the sector's efficiency, through innovation and digitilisation investments.
The ESG Plan:
5 priority pillars (5P) and 3 strategic areas
Webuild's sustainability strategy identifies infrastructural sustainability and construction site sustainability as the two pillars upon which Webuild's commitment and reputation are fully based.

Mitigating Climate Change
Webuild supports the global effort aimed at contrasting climate change and the transition towards a low-carbon emission economy.
The Group defined a Climate Strategy that is both clear and structured. It is based on goals to reduce CO2 emissions, through which it wishes to become a reference player in the infrastructure sector, with the capacity of supporting its clients in their journey of mitigating and adapting to climate change.
The climate strategy identifies three priority intervention areas: Business mix, Construction Site Decarbonization and Decarbonization of Works.
