Skanska demonstrates strong absolute emissions reductions—61% Scope 1+2, 37% Scope 3—with SBTi-validated targets and ahead-of-schedule progress. Critical weaknesses: nature and biodiversity impact remain largely unmeasured at group level, water consumption targets absent, and Scope 3 coverage captures only 1 of 15 GHG Protocol categories.
