New publication: Gruner Sustainability Report 2022

The first Gruner Sustainability Report is available! This report briefly summarizes Gruner's activities in the areas of environment, social affairs and corporate governance and backs them up with figures.

"Gruner celebrated its 160th anniversary in 2022. And so it follows that sustainable management is in the company's DNA. Environmental issues are also firmly ingrained in Gruner’s culture; we have been involved in hydropower and other low-emission energy generation and distribution for over 100 years. And when it comes to infrastructure and building construction projects, the careful use of resources, innovative methods to avoid emissions or refurbishment instead of new construction have always been important to us. Very early on, in 1980 itself, Gruner had also established the “Environment and Ecology” department, which combined the services of environmental construction supervision or environmental concepts."

This is how Gruner's Sustainability Report 2022 begins. For some time now, Gruner has been reporting ESG (environment, social, governance) issues annually in a comprehensive, internal "management report". Now, for the first time, the company is publishing a public "Sustainability Report" that summarizes the most important statements and findings in these three topics. This is because Gruner wants to achieve high standards not only in its projects, but also in itself.

The Sustainability Report 2022 is a first work and will be expanded in the coming years along the continuously improving management system at Gruner. The report will be published digitally as a PDF. You can find it here:
