How are we bringing our vision to fruition?

By advancing progress along the entire value chain. We create value for people and the environment by taking an end-to-end view of construction over the entire life cycle – from planning and construction, operation and facility management to redevelopment or demolition. With more than 250 innovation projects and 400 sustainability projects, we are actively shaping the future of construction. Working together with strong partners, we are pursuing a clear goal: to design, build and operate construction projects in a way that protects the climate and conserves resources.

What makes our work stand out?

At STRABAG, over 86,000 employees from more than 139 nations around the world work together to achieve progress. It is not just our unique qualities and individual strengths that characterise our projects, it is each and every one of us. We are proud of this diversity. In addition to our passion for construction, we are united by the following nine core values.

Commitment

As a full-range service provider for all construction needs, we actively propose solutions – tender permitting – to optimise the quality and the costs for our clients.

In the process, we recognise the dedication and the contribution made by each and every individual to our success.
Innovative spirit

Innovation drives us and ensures our success. We shape technological progress and digital transformation in all of our processes and therefore contribute to achieving our sustainability goals.

Working together with strong partners, we identify and develop new technologies for the construction industry and test them for their potential. That is because our aim is to actively and confidently help shape the future of the construction industry. Read more about digitalisation and innovation at STRABAG here.

We promote the innovative strength of our employees, e.g. in our adASTRA intrapreneurship programme.
Modesty

One’s own demands – tangible as well as intangible, individual as well as those involving the company as a whole – must always remain within reasonable limits.

We must not forget that our success depends on the trust of our stakeholders, especially our clients and shareholders, and that we must constantly work to build up this trust. It is for this reason that our stakeholders, their wishes and their expectations, are at the focus of our considerations and actions, of our planning and execution.
Partnership

What matters in the construction industry, is the work of people and their smooth cooperation. Partnership-based cooperation – on a small or large scale, externally or internally, across brands, countries and organisational boundaries – makes possible what cannot be done alone. We achieve more for our stakeholders if we combine our strengths, our knowledge, our ideas and our experience.

Partnership-based working is also characterised by equal opportunity and based on honesty, fairness and esteem. For partnerships to thrive, we place special emphasis on relationships: in the dialogue with current or future clients, for example, we listen actively to always meet their expectations when realising their projects.
Reliability

All the people in and around the company must be able to count on one another. Every building is unique, with its own individual requirements in terms of estimation, design, execution and operation.

Because we work in a disciplined fashion, our clients can expect us to complete complex construction projects reliably in the agreed quality, on schedule and within budget. Long-term, reliable partnerships can be guaranteed only through high ethical standards. We categorically reject corruption in any form.
Respect

We respect human dignity and protect the people we work with from belittlement, abuse and disrespectful behaviour.

We value diversity among our employees and have created a respectful working environment in which all people, regardless of gender and gender identity, age, origin, sexual orientation or religion and ideology, can realise their full potential and are commensurately supported. Diverse teams make it possible for us to find the best solutions for the most pressing challenges in our industry. With our EDI strategy (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion), we have set clear goals to promote equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion at STRABAG.

Health is our greatest asset: we attach great importance to occupational health and safety – for our employees and at our partner companies.
Solidarity

Solidarity means standing by one another. It not only is important to look at how we benefit from our success, and to take responsibility for our failures. Solidarity is also needed with regard to how we respond to the success and especially the failure of others.
Sustainability

We are aware of the extent of the construction industry’s contribution to the global environmental impact. We want to be part of the solution, because when we change, a lot will change.

Our major goal: becoming climate neutral by 2040. With digital methods and innovative solutions for decarbonisation, the circular economy and sustainable supply chains, we are building an environmentally friendly and socially just future. Working together with strong partners and our employees, we are creating value for society.

Trust

Like partnership, trust is only possible through appreciation and honesty - but it also requires transparency and a sense of responsibility on the part of each and every individual.

We believe trust to be important in all areas, and a high degree of personal responsibility of each and every employee is one of our essential management principles. Just as we build on long-term business relationships, we also work with selected, proven subcontractors with whom we have a trust-based working relationship. And our capital providers can count on us to honestly handle the resources entrusted to us.
