The CEO’s Editorial

We are aware of the great impact we have on the economy, environment and society. We continue to take this responsibility very seriously.

– 36

Reduction of accidents per 1,000 full-time posts from 143 to 107 for Implenia (excl. former Bilfinger). For the Group as a whole, the accident rate in 2015 was 86.

Health & Safety first

Social commitment and compliance

Implenia takes its social responsibilities seriously. To this end the company has revised its Code of Conduct, reviewed its sustainability priorities with external stakeholders and intensified its social commitments.

Sustainable products and services

During the reporting period, Implenia professionalised its supplier management, improved its own sustainability impact assessment system, collaborated actively on a Swiss-wide sustainability standard and built a large number of sustainable construction projects. This has also had a positive influence on customer satisfaction.

Respect for the environment

Implenia has set itself ambitious environmental targets. Over the last two years it has reduced its CO₂ emissions by more than 8 percent in absolute terms through various environmental protection measures. The implementation of a standardised environmental concept for construction sites will ensure better environmental protection in future.

–1,2%

Systematic recording of CO₂ emissions shows absolute fall of 8.2% and sales-adjusted fall of 1.2%. Sales-adjusted target of 5% thus not met.

Reduction of energy consumption and climate-damaging emissions

Attractive working environment

Implenia has invested heavily in internal training and development and health and safety for its more than 8,000 employees from over 70 nations. This has helped to reduce the number of work accidents substantially. Further, Implenia has intensified its engagement with universities, extended its specialist career offering and increased its apprenticeship ratio.

Financial excellence

Implenia adjusts its structures and processes to market developments in order to stay competitive and exploit market opportunities. The “One Company” model is the key to encouraging collaboration across the Group and to bundling our capabilities.

Reportages

“You can only fulfil expectations if you know what they are”

Implenia committed itself to sustainable development seven years ago. Time to take stock. The company staged a “stakeholder dialogue” session to find out how it was viewed from the outside and to determine priorities for the future.

Triple test in Geneva

Implenia is testing out the construction site of the future at its Pont-Rouge project. A whole series of new approaches designed to make construction more efficient are getting a thorough workout in Geneva’s Lancy district. We report from a construction site that lies on the very edge of Switzerland, but right at the heart of Implenia’s philosophy.

We’re not just here for the fun of it”

As well as being a social responsibility for every employer, giving young people new skills and developing new talent can help a company achieve its own goals. We visit a special construction site in Winterthur to see how Implenia is putting this principle into practice.
