Sustainability at Sweco

How do we make our society and economy more sustainable? This challenge is more urgent, relevant and inspiring than ever. At Sweco, we work with our clients and employees to create the sustainable cities, communities and businesses of the future.

Transforming society together

Based on our mission Transforming society together, our goal is clear: to be a front-runner in sustainability. As a market leader, we share a responsibility with our clients to optimise the social added value of our projects and minimise the negative impact. With our entire organisation, we put this ambition into practice every day.

Enabling the green transition

Every day, we realise projects that make our living environment more resilient, sustainable and inclusive ─ and we are proud of it. We deploy our expertise to:

Making cities resilient, sustainable and inclusive.
Accelerate the energy transition.
Develop infrastructure for sustainable mobility.
Make industry more sustainable, high-performing and resilient.
Strengthen the circular economy and society.
Increase water security and develop nature for a climate-adaptive habitat.

This is how we make the Green Transition a reality with our projects, creating solutions that have impact today and will last through tomorrow.

Sustainability services

Local and regional governments are making a sustainable living environment and a resilient economy the focal points of their policies. Companies are also accelerating their sustainability ambitions. Sweco helps them make those plans a reality. With our Sustainability Services, we translate complex challenges into clear strategies and concrete results. We combine technical expertise with targeted advice, enabling clients to build sustainable policies and future-proof operations. And we don’t stop at advice: we also guide organisations in the effective implementation of their sustainability strategy.

Sustainability by design

Sustainability is the starting point of every project we design. With Sustainability by Design, Sweco translates ambitions for people, planet, and prosperity into well-considered and feasible solutions. We apply an integrated design approach, with technical quality, longevity, and measurable impact at its core. By leveraging digital tools and data analysis, we make sustainability tangible and actionable. In close collaboration with all stakeholders, our experts integrate circular construction, energy efficiency, biodiversity, and climate adaptation into every phase of the design and delivery process.

Walk the talk

In addition to our projects, we also take responsibility within our own organisation. Sweco Belgium embeds sustainability structurally in its operations and is working towards net climate neutrality by 2030 for scopes 1 and 2, and by 2040 for scope 3. We closely monitor our progress using internationally recognised frameworks such as the Science Based Targets initiative and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Our internal sustainability approach focuses on climate-neutral offices and mobility, responsible procurement and circularity, sustainable people policies, and ethical, transparent business conduct.

We are all change agents

The foundation of our sustainable actions is Sweco’s internal sustainability culture. Based on strong shared awareness, 2,700 employees dedicate themselves daily to making our sustainability strategy a reality. Through innovation, training, coaching and shared practical experience, we strengthen our multidisciplinary expertise and increase our clout for a sustainable world.

Become a change agent

Urban Insight is Sweco’s international knowledge platform where experts share insights and solutions for tomorrow’s sustainable cities and societies. Throughout the year, we share reports, trends and analysis on sustainable urban development, focusing on mobility, energy transition, climate adaptation, health, circularity and biodiversity.
