Exponential Framework
Standing firm in uncertain times - delivering world-leading results in climate solutions enablement
Skanska's Leadership in the Exponential Framework
Where Skanska Can Have the Biggest Impact: Pillars 1 & 2: Operations + Value Chain (60%)
As a construction company, Skanska's impact spans both their own operations (equipment, sites) and their massive material supply chain. Concrete and steel procurement decisions drive most of their footprint.
Highlighted areas show where Skanska demonstrates climate leadership

Real Estate & Construction
REITs, developers, construction
Cut Operational Emissions
Scope 1 & 2 emissions from own facilities and fleet
Decarbonize Value Chain
Scope 3 upstream emissions from suppliers and materials
Why These Weights?
Skanska's climate impact is primarily through construction operations and building energy use (P1: 40%). Embodied carbon in materials represents significant secondary impact (P2: 30%). Green building solutions and net-zero buildings add tertiary impact (P3: 20%).
