Sustainability targets and outcome
NCC has Group-wide targets within two impact areas: Health and safety and Climate and energy. Furthermore, the business areas set operations-specific sustainability targets.
The sustainability targets are part of NCC’s strategy, and are followed up and reported annually. In our annual report, you can read more about this year’s outcome and how we work towards achieving the targets.
Our long-term goals are complemented by a selection of the UN’s global sustainable development goals. Learn more about how NCC is affected by these global goals here.
Health and safety
NCC shall have a safe, secure and healthy work environment. NCC's long-term objective is to completely eliminate accidents with a serious or fatal outcome, and to reduce the total number of accidents.
| Key performance indicator | Target 2024 |
Outcome 2024 | Interim target 2025 | Target 2026 |
| LTIF4* |
2.5 | 3.3 | 2.25 | 2.0 |
*Work related accidents with over four calendar days absence per one million work hours for NCC’s employees.
Climate and energy
NCC strives to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from the entire value chain, increase energy efficiency, phase out fossil energy sources, and enable adaptation to climate change.
NCC's own emissions
| Key performance indicator | Target | Outcome 2024 |
| Reduction of CO2e tons/SEK M (Scope 1 and 2). |
-75 percent by 2030 compared with base year 2015 |
-64 percent |
Scope 1: Direct emissions related to for example fuel consumption in asphalt plants, and from own vehicles and machinery.
Scope 2: Indirect emissions related to the production of electricity, district heating and district cooling used in the operations.
Revised target to a 75 percent reduction
In 2024, NCC surpassed its target of reducing the emission intensity by 60 percent (corresponding to 2.08 tons CO2e/SEK M) and reached a reduction of 64 percent (corresponding to 1.9 tons CO2e/SEK M) compared with 2015. Therefore, we are now increasing our target to reduce emission intensity in own operations (Scope 1 and 2) to 75 percent by 2030.
NCC's value chain emissions
| Key performance indicator | Target |
|
Reduction of kilograms of CO2e/purchased volume |
-50 percent by 2030 compared with base year 2015 |
Scope 3: Indirect emissions from the value chain, for example purchased materials.
Outcome 2024
| Ready-mix concrete1) | Asphalt1) | Steel reinforcement1) | Transportation and machine services |
| -22 percent |
-23 percent | -57 percent | +33 percent |
1) To date, this metric refers only to ready-mix concrete, internally purchased asphalt and steel reinforcement.
