Responsibility for the environment is a matter of practical actions.
Lemminkäinen wants to be a leader in environmentally responsible and sustainable construction. The Company takes account of life cycle and environmental perspectives in the development of its operations, products and services. The goal is to provide customers with products and services that embody quality, safety and environmental wellbeing.
All construction changes the environment in which we live. As one of Finland’s biggest construction companies, Lemminkäinen has a duty and an opportunity to strive continuously to reduce the environmental impacts of construction and to promote sustainable development in construction and its related activities.
Environmental responsibility is an integral part of the Group’s business, management and decision-making. For Lemminkäinen, responsibility means knowing the environmental impacts of its operations, its statutory obligations and the environmental risks, and taking them into consideration when offering products and services.
Lemminkäinen operates in accordance with the principles of the ISO 14001 environmental management system.
The principle is to prevent the occurrence of environmental damages by paying particular attention to areas such as the storage of chemicals, the siting of storage facilities, chemical pollution, energy consumption, the recycling and reuse of waste materials, and the organisation and cleanliness of production areas and construction sites.
