Sustainability
Did you know that buildings are responsible for 30% of Europe's CO2 emissions and cities account for more than 70% of the world's total CO2 emissions?
By modernising and digitalising buildings we can reduce the CO2 emissions by 20%. That is why we have set ambitious sustainability targets.
Our target by 2030 is to create sustainable impact through our solutions, with a positive carbon handprint 10 times greater than our own carbon footprint.
We have 4 focus areas with ambitious targets
