Veidekke seeks to play an active role in delivering the green transition, and last year it adopted more ambitious targets relating to the group’s greenhouse has emissions. The group’s emissions must halve by 2030, while net zero is to be achieved across the value chain by 2045. In addition to reducing the negative impact on the climate and the environment, there will be efforts to generate added value through innovation and close collaboration with customers, suppliers and other partners.
Veidekke has already started work in Oslo’s Ulven neighbourhood on what will be become the new company’s head office. This project will see greenhouse gas emissions lowered, which entails an innovative and proactive approach to the use of cast on-site concrete:
‘In the spring, we carried out a full-scale test project which was a success. We are now ready to replace all virgin aggregate in the concrete with recycled concrete from one a demolition project. We are working to achieve minor concrete revolution here - one that is circular, reduces waste, reuses materials, and is simply far more sustainable than current solutions,’ says Anders W. Haugen, Director of Veidekke Bygg Oslo.
Veidekke Sirkulær will be a separate unit within Veidekke’s construction business in Oslo.
