Better Health for All

The provided articles exclusively detail STRABAG SE's internal occupational health and safety measures, employee wellbeing programs, and workplace accident statistics. STRABAG has a work safety and health management system in accordance with ISO 45001 and/or Safety Certificate Contractors (SCC).

The ethical value 'Better Health for All' explicitly excludes workplace safety standards and worker rights, stating these fall under 'Fair Pay & Worker Respect'. Consequently, there is no evidence pertaining to the direct health impact of the company's principal goods or services on the general public, nor any data on health-related product accessibility, innovation, externalities, equity programs, or crisis response for the broader community. Therefore, no KPIs under 'Better Health for All' can be scored based on the provided information.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

More than 95% of employees are covered by collective labor agreements.

The CEO to median employee pay ratio is 48.5. The voluntary employee turnover rate is 7.8%. The recordable occupational injury rate (TRIR) was 2.84 per 200,000 hours worked in 2023, based on 14.2 accidents per million productive working hours; however, there were 6 fatal accidents in 2023. The gender pay gap factor is 0.17, meaning women earn approximately 83% of men's pay. The company reported zero severe human rights incidents and zero fines, penalties, or compensation for discrimination incidents, despite 44 reported cases of discrimination or human rights and working conditions issues in 2023.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

The provided articles do not contain specific quantitative data points for any of the KPIs under the 'Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing' value. While STRABAG SE's Supplier Code of Conduct and Supply Chain Management Policy outline commitments to human rights, ethical procurement, and risk assessment, no percentages for fair-trade certified spend, audit frequencies, number of substantiated forced/child labor incidents over three years, traceability coverage, remediation speed, ethical clause coverage percentage, share of high-risk materials spend, or supplier diversity spend are explicitly stated.

, Several articles explicitly mention data gaps regarding these metrics. , ,

Honest & Fair Business

STRABAG SE incurred ethics-related regulatory fines totaling €3,455,000 for anti-competitive collusion in Germany.

These fines were settled, and the company was subsequently removed from the German Competition Register after implementing self-cleaning measures. The company operates an Ethics and Business Compliance System (BCMS) certified to ISO 37001 (Anti-Bribery) and ISO 37301 (Compliance), which applies to all fully consolidated companies. Management directives address corruption, white-collar crime, business partner due diligence, antitrust, and conflicts of interest, with due diligence on business partners tightened in March 2022. STRABAG provides an anonymous, publicly accessible whistleblower platform with designated ombudspersons, compliant with EU Directive 2019/1937. This system protects the identity of whistleblowers and assures no reprisals for good faith reports, with incoming reports checked for plausibility, followed up, and investigated, leading to corrective or disciplinary actions. Six out of ten Supervisory Board members, specifically those elected by the Annual General Meeting or appointed by shareholders, are independent in accordance with the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance. The company's ethical claims and compliance are subject to extensive third-party verification, including a limited assurance engagement by PwC on its consolidated sustainability reporting for 2024, independent verification of its ISO 37001 and ISO 37301 certifications, and an external evaluation of its compliance with the Austrian Code of Corporate Governance every three years, with the last evaluation performed in 2023 for the 2022 financial year.

Kind to Animals

STRABAG SE is a construction services company, and its core business model does not involve activities related to animal testing, animal-derived ingredients, animal agriculture, or direct animal husbandry. Therefore, KPIs such as cruelty-free certification, alternative testing usage, humane certifications for operations, ethical input substitution, supplier audits for animal welfare, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policy and volume, innovation investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, animal-free R&D collaboration, and public policy engagement on animal welfare are not applicable. For wildlife conservation impact, while STRABAG has a biodiversity management system

and conducts environmental impact assessments, it explicitly states that no quantitative targets for biodiversity and ecosystems are defined, and compensatory measures for flora and fauna are not yet recorded on a Group-wide basis. Consequently, there is no measurable data to score this KPI against the rubric's quantitative thresholds.

No War, No Weapons

STRABAG discontinued new orders in Russia and wrote off assets in that country, demonstrating compliance with EU sanctions since March 1, 2022.

Its Supplier Code of Conduct also addresses trade sanctions. However, a transaction involving STRABAG shares by a sanctioned shareholder was deemed by the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to be a circumvention of sanctions, though STRABAG took steps to reduce the shareholder's stake below 25% and freeze shares. The company's supply chain management policy emphasizes compliance with international standards, including the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and it is a member of the UN Global Compact. STRABAG also holds ISO 37301 certification for Compliance Management Systems.

Planet-Friendly Business

STRABAG SE has set a climate neutrality target for 2040.

The company's 2024 capital expenditures aligned with the EU Sustainable Taxonomy stood at 18.79%. STRABAG invested €100 million in CMBlu Energy, a long-duration energy storage company, which represents 11.16% of its 2021 EBIT. STRABAG notes the absence of climate risk and vulnerability analyses as a barrier to full EU Taxonomy alignment for some projects.

Respect for Cultures & Communities

STRABAG SE does not have a formal cultural impact assessment protocol, although a guideline is planned for 2025.

The company operates in the construction industry, which inherently has the potential to impact cultural contexts.

Safe & Smart Tech

STRABAG SE states compliance with EU GDPR and other national data protection laws.

The company provides users with the ability to withdraw consent, object to data processing, and request data access or deletion.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

STRABAG's in-house building materials, including stone/gravel, asphalt, and concrete, are 100% recyclable.

In 2024, the company diverted 88.43% of its total waste from disposal through reuse, recycling, and other recovery operations. STRABAG has implemented at least nine waste reduction initiatives, including circular deconstruction, material passports, C3 recycling centers (one of which received the German Award for Sustainability Projects), and a standardized waste recording system introduced in 2024. Circular design principles are applied to several product categories and projects, such as refurbishment under the BESTAND BEYOND brand and the use of sustainable building materials like hemp insulation. However, the recycled content in key materials remains low, with 2.0% for stone/gravel, 13.6% for asphalt, and 0.1% for concrete. In 2024, 311,367 tonnes of hazardous waste were generated, with 25,899 tonnes diverted from disposal. As of 2024, the company has not yet set specific, time-bound waste reduction targets.
