One of Sweden’s largest construction companies, Skanska undertakes thousands of residential, commercial and infrastructure projects yearly.

A multinational construction and development company based in Sweden, Skanska was established in 1887 as a concrete product manufacturer. Today, the company is one of the world’s leading project development and construction companies and aims to be a leader in sustainable solutions, quality, safety and ethics. Skanska has the goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions across its value chain by 2045. This goal also includes suppliers, subcontractors and end users of buildings that Skanska constructs. The company’s vision is for the environmental impact of what it builds and produces for its customers, as well as its own activities, to be as close to zero as possible.

Some of Skanska’s biggest projects include the new Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, the Oresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweden, the HS2 rail link in the UK and LaGuardia Airport in the United States, demonstrating a global portfolio across healthcare, transport, and urban development.
