Sustainability Case Studies

Skanska constructed a new propylene plant at an established refinery near Curitiba in southern Brazil and implemented a comprehensive sustainability programme to promote occupational health and safety, workforce engagement and environmental management.

The Ponte de Pedra hydropower plant, in western Brazil, has worked to maximise and sustain local benefit by involving communities, fostering partnerships and building local capacity through extensive activities that have often surpassed government social and environmental requirements.

A section of the Urucu-Manaus gas pipeline in Brazil was constructed by a Skanska consortium, which worked to minimize the project’s negative impacts in a socially and environmentally sensitive area of Amazon rainforest.
