Sweco

Sweco, founded in 1958, is a leading publicly traded architecture and engineering consultancy headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden. Sweco provides architecture, engineering, environmental consulting and urban planning services for energy, industrial, infrastructure and water projects. The company operates in major cities such as Berlin, Helsinki, Stockholm and Oslo, and has been involved in significant projects such as the Citybanan railway tunnel in Stockholm, the Oslo Opera House and the Maasvlakte 2 port expansion in the Netherlands.

Summary

Sweco discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company expects its business relationships to respect the health and safety of workers, demonstrating its commitment to responsible business practices. It is also committed to gender diversity and has a time-bound target to increase the representation of women to at least 40% group-wide by 2040.

However, there are areas in which Sweco can improve its performance. While the company demonstrates its commitment to stakeholder engagement by sharing a comprehensive list of stakeholders it engages with and the key sustainability concerns identified through these interactions, it can strengthen its efforts by identifying stakeholder groups whose human rights may be impacted and reporting on actions taken to address these concerns. Sweco should also formalise its commitments to human and labour rights in its corporate policies.

The company lacks specific targets or strategies for improving water efficiency in its designs and projects, and it is unclear whether it discloses the proportion of projects implementing water efficiency measures or withdrawing water from water-stressed areas. Addressing these gaps will enable Sweco to strengthen its sustainability.
