Proprietary assessment tools have been developed, including the <strong>Skanska</strong> Tender Approval Process (STAP) Inkomstskatt, and <strong>Skanska</strong>’s 1% Operational Risk Assessment (ORA). Throughout Utdelning, 2% the organization, standards are constantly being Balanserade raised vinstmedel, to ensure that 10% sustainable building practices Anställda, are promoted. 17% One example is the Environment Policy’s • commitment Leverantörer, 70% to eliminate waste to landfill, with a target of less than 10 percent to landfill by the end of the current business plan in 2010 as the first milestone. Supply chain <strong>Skanska</strong> has about 58,000 employees and as many as 250,000 subcontractors. The Company manages 100,000 suppliers and delivers some 12,000 projects in a year. With numbers this large, maintaining and developing sustainability is challenging but can also provide big rewards. Suppliers play a key part in all aspects of delivering <strong>Skanska</strong>’s Sustainability Agenda. Given the correct training, education and encouragement, they enable the business to deliver real improvements in materials selection and use, recycling and waste minimization. During <strong>2008</strong>, <strong>Skanska</strong> continued to develop its coordinated purchasing and product selection. Currently, around 10 percent of the total expenditure on supplies is managed in this way, with the amount continuing to rise to as much as 50 percent by the end of 2010. Not only will this improve purchasing power, it will also provide much higher visibility and control of sustainability risks, such as unacceptable impacts on ecosystems, flora and fauna from illegal logging and inappropriate quarrying of stone. During <strong>2008</strong>, purchasing staff members were trained and sustainability criteria were built into purchasing systems to assist in the correct selection of suppliers and materials. Products as varied as plastic pipes, elevators, bitumen and hand-held power tools have been assessed in this way. Proof of performance The Empire State Building in New York is an icon for early 20th century enterprise. In November <strong>2008</strong>, <strong>Skanska</strong> took occupancy of the entire 32nd floor. As part of the refurbishment, best in class sustainable building practices were employed, resulting in the project being awarded the LEED-CI Platinum standard. To receive such an endorsement — considered an achievement even in new construction — for work completed on a building that is nearly 80 years old is proof of <strong>Skanska</strong>’s commitment and ability. Adding value to society A large proportion of the Company’s revenue finds its way into society via the supply chain, with suppliers representing 70 percent of annual expenditure for <strong>Skanska</strong>. The impact, positive or negative, of the Company’s operations is therefore felt primarily through the supply chain. The most effective way to enable social improvements such as workers’ rights, increased diversity and zero tolerance to bribery or child labor, is via suppliers. As well as providing a platform for economic and social change, <strong>Skanska</strong>’s operations result in the payment of direct and indirect taxes. In <strong>2008</strong>, 87 percent of revenue was paid either to employees as salaries or to subcontractors and suppliers for the fulfillment of contracts. A significant proportion of this will have benefited society via further taxation at local and national level. Through careful application of policies and practices that have been developed to ensure sustainability, <strong>Skanska</strong> is able to share the benefits of its business success with a wider society – environmentally, socially and economically.
