Below expectationsPending Review

Skanska demonstrates real emissions reductions—61% Scope 1+2, 37% Scope 3 from baseline—with SBTi-validated targets and ahead-of-schedule delivery. Major gaps: Scope 3 covers only 1 of 15 GHG Protocol categories, biodiversity assessment is absent group-wide, and water targets don't exist. Nature and water remain material blind spots.
