Sustainable Development Goals

for sustainable development

How we work with three selected sustainability goals

For several years, Nordbygg has presented a number of activities focused on sustainability. Common to all is that they are driven long-term and sustainably. They all support one of the three global goals that we consider most relevant to our industry.

About the SDGs The SDGs are an ambitious agenda for sustainable development, aiming to end extreme poverty, reduce inequalities, promote peace and justice, and solve the climate crisis – all by 2030. Read more about the SDGs here →

How we work for gender equality at Nordbygg
The construction industry is a very male-dominated industry. it is a major challenge to recruit and retain female employees. We have taken initiatives to give gender equality space and attention in Nordbygg’s program. For example, the initiatives “Stop Macho Culture” and “Filter the Talk” are highlighted.

We can note that the proportion of female visitors at Nordbygg has grown over time and is higher than generally in the construction industry. For Nordbygg 2024, the successful Nordbygg Women’s Network Meeting returns, gathering nearly 150 women in construction to inspire and strengthen networks.

Goal 7 - Sustainable energy for all

In Nordbygg’s program, on all stages and in all contexts, the issue of sustainability is promoted. Here we highlight, for example, environmental regulations and processes that affect construction companies, consultants, product and material suppliers. We spotlight circular processes, climate-smart solutions, energy efficiency, and good initiatives.
