Webuild's sustainability strategy
Our commitment to a better world
#WePromote a Sustainable World
Webuild adopts a long-term approach to sustainability, fully integrating its Sustainability Strategy into its business model and strategic decision-making processes. The Group is strongly focused on developing and delivering infrastructure that directly contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to the transition towards 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).
In this context, the 5P Sustainability Manifesto formalizes the Group’s sustainability strategy and identifies five strategic priorities: People, Planet, Partnership, Progress and Prosperity. Said 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
Webuild’s ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) Plan translates the Group’s commitments into concrete and measurable objectives, supporting a business strategy focused on creating sustainable value and contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Defined on the basis of the materiality assessment and in line with the Group’s Strategic Plan, the ESG Plan guides Webuild’s actions in addressing global challenges and responding in a tangible way to stakeholder expectations.
In 2024, the Group launched the 2024–2025 ESG Plan, built on the results achieved under the previous 2021–2023 Plan and further raising its level of ambition. The Plan is structured around three strategic pillars — Green, Safety & Inclusion, and Innovation — through which Webuild aims to:
- Accelerate the climate transition towards a low‑emission economy, promoting innovative solutions to support environmental sustainability throughout the entire project lifecycle;
- Consolidate its role as a sector benchmark in terms of health and safety, skills development, diversity and inclusion;
- Contribute to improving sector efficiency, leveraging innovation and digitalisation.
2025 marked the completion of the ESG Plan, with results that consolidate the Group's position as a sustainability benchmark in the sector:
- Climate Transition. Reduced GHG emission intensity (Scope 1 & 2) by 33% vs. the 2022 baseline (Plan target: -10%).
- Innovation and Cleantech. €586 million invested in innovative projects and clean technologies, significantly exceeding the €430 million target.
- Inclusion and Management. The percentage of women in management roles increased by 27% vs. the 2023 baseline (Plan target: +20%).
- Health and Safety. Significantly reduced the Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR) to 2.23 in 2025, a 20% reduction vs. the 2022 baseline (Plan target: -6%).
The ESG Plan: 5 priority pillars (5P) and 3 strategic areas

Mitigating Climate Change
Webuild supports global efforts to address climate change and promote the transition to a low-carbon economy by contributing to the development of sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
The Group has established a clear and structured Climate Strategy, integrated into its business model and aligned with leading international standards, with concrete targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions across the entire project lifecycle. As part of this journey, Webuild has already achieved significant results, including a 34% reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity in 2025 compared with 2022.
Through this strategy, the Group aims to strengthen its role as a trusted partner for clients and stakeholders, supporting both climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
The Climate Strategy identifies three priority areas for action: Business Mix, Construction Site Decarbonization and Infrastructure Decarbonization.
