More Sustainable Together
Working with you to make construction better
The construction industry plays a crucial role in meeting the needs of our growing population, from building schools and hospitals to homes and roads. Currently the industry consumes a huge amount of raw materials and natural resources, and is responsible for almost 40% of total global energy-related CO2 emissions.
However, there are positive signs that the industry is taking steps to become more sustainable. In a recent survey 47% of respondents said sustainability is now a major concern, and 58% of engineering and construction firms said they have reduced overall energy consumption. At Hilti we take responsibility for actively managing the environmental impact of our activities, and implementing sustainable business practices, and we are here to help you to do the same.
Working together to help limit climate change
Helping you reduce your environmental impact while growing your construction business
The carbon footprint of building materials such as concrete and steel is responsible for up to 16% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. And of the total global energy-related CO2 emissions, 69% of total emissions come from operating and using existing buildings. We can't ignore these numbers. Sustainability is not just a buzz word – it will be crucial to our future success as businesses.
We want to ensure long-term success for ourselves and for you, our customers, by working together on energy efficient solutions that will help us grow our businesses sustainably. We can help you decrease your carbon footprint in the construction phase and increase energy efficiency during the operational phase, while ensuring a healthier and safer environment for your buildings. Our products and solutions can help you optimize work processes and designs to reduce wastage and increase energy efficiency.
Our commitment to growing sustainably
Reducing our carbon footprint with green building
As an industry we share a crucial role in researching, developing and producing lower-carbon building materials and increasing the lifetime of materials. Hilti has strongly committed to working with the SBTi to help limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. In the short-term we also plan to significantly reduce carbon emissions along our entire value chain by 2033, and in the long-term to achieve net-zero by 2050. With this commitment, we can support you – our customers’ – sustainability initiatives. If we want to be successful in the long run, we need to start conserving natural resources and reducing the environmental impact of our actions now.
