Sustainability
We put sustainability at the heart of our business, and secure human-centric buildings and communities where people can live, work, come together and thrive – with minimal impact on the environment.
The local business units benefit from the fact that the Group Consolis has taken a comprehensive approach to sustainability.
Our sustainability promise
We are a strong force in our industry, and we are committed to taking the lead to influence and drive significant sustainability improvements.
By deeds, not words, our teams will prove that improvements come from conscious decisions, shared knowledge, experience, and collaboration with our suppliers and customers.
Together, we will reduce the environmental impact of our products and operations.
“Re-defining success”
ECPC, led by Consolis, takes a holistic approach to success using the triple bottom line framework, measuring efforts across all dimensions of sustainability. The triple bottom line helps us go from industry-leading ambitions to actionable tasks, covering all areas of the organization and aligning with the UN’s global goals.
Our success is thus defined by:
We have identified six key areas where Consolis can make the most positive impact on the climate and are committed to working diligently within all of them:
1. Customer Partnerships
Consolis exists to unlock the environmental challenges of our customers, and the key is collaboration.
By putting great effort into the start-up phase when defining the project, close cooperation can make a huge difference.
The better we understand our customers’ drivers the better we can tailor our offering to deliver more cost- and resource-efficient solutions while helping them achieve their environmental goals.
2. Smart design
Smart design means careful planning for using the right elements in the right places, while maintaining functional performance, and at the same time minimizing carbon emissions.
Smart design creates more out of less with maximum durability by using slim hollow core slabs and unreinforced walls wherever possible.
3. Responsible sourcing
The largest part of our product’s climate impact is related to cement and steel, materials that we buy from suppliers.
Therefore, we select our suppliers carefully and ask them for Environmental Product Declarations, EPD, so we can interpret and measure the products’ climate impact.
4. Industrial production
The industrial production at our factories is where the magic happens – this is where we produce low-carbon precast products with quality controls at every stage.
All these efforts and commitments lead to Consolis Green Spine Line®. This is our offer of certified and low-carbon precast products with 15-60% lower emissions than local industry standards. Today six countries offer Green Spine Line products: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Spain. More products and markets are coming.
6. Sustainable buildings
Our climate commitments are the foundation of our operations, and we are proud to be a part of developing and serving local communities for centuries to come. We provide construction companies and community builders with smart, sustainable, and highly engineered precast elements, enabling them to create beautiful homes, offices, universities, hospitals, stadiums, shopping centers, airports and infrastructure.
Our smart and highly engineered precast elements are more sustainable, energy efficient and firesafe.
Enabling innovation
Consolis has a unique position: multinational industry leader and active enabler of innovation for net-zero precast concrete.
Pushing to make new methods and technologies commercially viable faster, we at Consolis:
- focus on replacing cement with alternative binders, and more efficient design processes
- collaborate with climate-tech pioneers, academia, customers, and suppliers
- establish partnerships for innovation and controlled testing environment in our factories
