We act sustainably – by conviction
As one of the world’s most relevant building and infrastructure construction groups, HOCHTIEF acts on its responsibility toward society and the environment.
The HOCHTIEF sustainability strategy is derived from the Group’s corporate strategy. We want to create, preserve, and grow values. This mindset is deeply rooted in our corporate vision—“HOCHTIEF is building the world of tomorrow”—and our Group’s guiding principles, which explicitly include sustainability as a precondition.
RobecoSAM Sustainability Yearbook 2019: Bronze for HOCHTIEF
HOCHTIEF has once again been listed in the RobecoSAM Sustainability Yearbook in recognition of its sustainability efforts, based on its good score in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index last year. HOCHTIEF was awarded a bronze medal in the “Construction and Engineering” industry, following on from its good results in past years.
Worldwide HOCHTIEF numbers among the best ten percent of participants in its industry. The Group thus demonstrates the important role that reconciling economics, ecology and social responsibility plays in the corporate strategy.
Climate protection: HOCHTIEF receives B-rating from CDP
Once a year, on the basis of standardized questionnaires, the non-profit organization Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) gathers data and information about CO2 emissions, climate risks and opportunities, and companies’ reduction targets and strategies, and uses these details to produce a ranking. HOCHTIEF has once again received a B-rating, putting it above the average among all companies assessed.
Investors, companies, political decision-makers, scientists and the media use the CDP data to inform themselves about companies’ climate-related facts and strategies. Investors use the information to assess the long-term opportunities and risks for their portfolio companies, to determine their investment strategy, and to develop investment products and indexes.
CIMIC has also taken part in the CDP review again, scoring a C for Climate Change Assessment and a B for the Water Security Assessment.

We see sustainability as a systematic approach to harmonizing economy, ecology, and social responsibility across the depth and breadth of all our business activities with the aim of safeguarding the company’s viability going forward. How the company and its circumstances are perceived both internally and externally plays an important role.
Our responsible actions are aligned with the HOCHTIEF model. We have defined key sustainability focus areas – they are subject to annual internal and external review with regard to business relevance, impacts, and stakeholder interests. We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and integrated the SDGs that are relevant to HOCHTIEF into our CR program.
