as we believe that our responsible decisions can positively shape industry standards.
Budimex - changing the worldOur ambition is to be the industry leader in the field of environmental protection.
We continue to invest in renewable energy sources and reduce our carbon footprint in order to become climate-neutral. We are gradually switching to a circular economy model to ensure circularity in the value chain.
We believe that this is not enough and that we should take it a step further. We are one of the first entities in Poland that want to measure the water footprint and its impact on biodiversity so that we can plan further actions in this area based on scientific knowledge. We translate our understanding of the complexities of our impact on the environment into a comprehensive action plan, that is a response to future challenges.

This is related to a number of actions that we undertake to become climate-neutral, which, on the one hand, means we see the necessity of investing in renewable sources to ensure access to clean energy, and, on the other hand, forces us to undertake a number of actions aimed at reducing CO2 emissions, starting from the project design to its execution. Therefore, we plan to optimise our design processes so that they take into account the analysis of the potential reductions for a given site, as well as intent to successively increase our share of low-carbon means of transport and heavy machines in the construction process.
(the target includes a 33% reduction of emissions from the vehicle fleet and the use of electric energy from RES)
We plan to start the closure of the raw material cycle analysing the potentials behind implementing a circular model for the whole value chain in order to work out and implement the Circular Policy at the next stage. The operating standards resulting from it will then apply both within our group and in relations with our business partners. We also want to use raw materials from certified sources, as well as sources with a lower carbon footprint. We intend to consistently increase the percentage of recycled waste along with using recycled raw materials.
At the same time, we want to increase our engagement in the field of protecting natural resources. In order to do this in a conscious and responsible manner, it is necessary to conduct analyses of the impact on the use of water resources and biodiversity. We strive to develop comprehensive plans for the reduction of our footprint in these two dimensions. We declare that we shall undertake this ambitious task with our full commitment.
In our design processes, we not only comply with the legally required industrial norms and standards, but we also offer investors additional solutions to reduce the environmental impact of their investments. We apply technologies which are more advantageous from the perspective of balancing natural resources.
We give a new life to worn materials by preparing them for reuse. We successively increase our percentage of recycled materials.
We reduce CO2 emissions, among other things using low-carbon means of transport and shortening the supply chain. We build in a responsible manner.
We make sure that our sites do not disturb the surrounding environment, which means that before commencing each construction, we protect trees from mechanical damage. We also carry out tree and bush planting to increase the green areas of Poland. We guarantee the safety of animals, by relocating them.
