Corporate Social Responsibility

Taking responsibility means shaping the future

As part of the Equans Group, we take responsibility for our employees, our customers and society. Health and safety, sustainability, and social responsibility are firmly embedded in our corporate strategy and influence our daily actions.

Success through partnership and sustainability
We believe in the power of partnership and sustainability. We cultivate long-term relationships with our customers and partners. We are committed to collaborating in a reliable, respectful and solution-oriented manner, both now and in the future.

Innovative, flexible, forward-looking
Entrepreneurial thinking, a strong spirit of innovation and the use of new technologies drive us forward. We respond flexibly and thoughtfully to market demands, seizing opportunities that advance our projects, our customers and our company in a sustainable way.

Social and Community Engagement

We work together with our employees on regional, social, cultural and sports projects.

Creating opportunities globally through social engagement

We are committed to ensuring reliable access to water and promoting sustainable development internationally.

For example, through the HyREC²A research project, we are collaborating with the Deggendorf Institute of Technology to develop solutions for water, energy and food security in South Africa. We also support the Menschen für Menschen foundation through the B2Run in Munich, thereby helping to improve the drinking water supply in rural areas of Ethiopia.

By doing so, we are taking responsibility across national borders and supporting projects and initiatives that have a lasting impact and create real opportunities.

Kraftanlagen Emergency Aid Association: Stronger Together in Difficult Times

Since 2009, the Kraftanlagen Emergency Aid Association has supported employees and their families who find themselves in an acute emergency through no fault of their own, such as due to serious illness, accidents or natural disasters. The Emergency Aid Association provides financial support, whether as a one-off or regular contribution, exactly where it is needed most. In this way, we strengthen the sense of solidarity within our corporate group, which is at the heart of our company culture.

Employees can actively support the association: By making a voluntary monthly donation of just 1 euro, they can help those affected by difficult life situations to receive quick and effective support.

Corporate fashion for a good cause – worn with a purpose!

Following our logo redesign, our corporate fashion has been given a new lease of life. We have donated our clothing to the Monsignore-Bleyer-Haus, which is run by the Catholic Youth Welfare Association of Munich.

There, it is worn by people with disabilities. The photos offer a personal insight into this initiative and clearly show that our commitment is having a positive and lasting impact on people and the environment.

WORKPLACE SAFETY AND HEALTH

At Kraftanlagen, the safety and health of all people is our top priority – whether they are employees, subcontractors or customers. Our most important goal is for everyone to return home healthy and unharmed after a day’s work.

Under the slogan ‘You count’, we are pursuing our vision: zero accidents. Because every single one counts. And every accident is one too many.

OUR CLIMATE STRATEGY UNTIL 2030:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABILITY

Our goal is to actively shape the energy transition and climate protection efforts with flexible, innovative and energy-efficient solutions. We always keep the entire life cycle of plants in mind and champion the responsible and environmentally sound use of all natural resources.

We are committed to the decarbonisation of our society. Since January 2021, we have been pursuing an ambitious climate strategy together with our parent company Bouygues Construction to reduce our carbon footprint across the entire value chain. The aim is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 30 per cent by 2030.

When selecting our locations, we consistently prioritise energy-efficient and climate-friendly building systems in order to reduce our environmental footprint and lower our energy consumption in a sustainable way. An example of this is our new headquarters, which has been awarded the internationally recognised BREEAM ‘Excellent’ certification for particularly sustainable buildings.

In addition, we are committed to the ongoing electrification of our vehicle fleet. We are gradually replacing conventional company vehicles with electric ones and establishing the necessary charging infrastructure at our locations. Our employees can charge their electric vehicles there free of charge during working hours. This approach combines sustainable mobility with added value for our teams, while making an active contribution to climate protection.

We also see the digitalization of our processes and the promotion of innovation as opportunities for environmentally sustainable business practices.
