A Sustainable Approach
Circular economy
Our circularity approach focuses on the entire life cycle of our products from design to production to repair, generating maximum value from a minimum use of raw construction materials and resources – doing more with less.
Green Buildings
Green buildings produce lower carbon emissions with higher resource and energy efficiency, using renewable and uncontaminated raw materials. We can help you reduce the negative effects on the environment while creating a positive atmosphere for your tenants, all according to green certification criteria.
Helping you reduce your environmental impact while growing your construction business
Working Together to Stop Climate Change
The carbon footprint of building materials such as concrete and steel is responsible for up to 16% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. And of the total global energy-related CO2 emissions, 69% of total emissions come from operating and using existing buildings. We can't ignore these numbers.
Sustainability is not just a buzz word – it will be crucial to our future success as businesses. We want to ensure long-term success for ourselves and for you, our customers, by working together on energy efficient solutions that will help us grow our businesses sustainably.
We can help you decrease your carbon footprint in the construction phase and increase energy efficiency during the operational phase, while ensuring a healthier and safer environment for your buildings. Our products and solutions can help you optimize work processes and designs to reduce wastage and increase energy efficiency.
Reducing our carbon footprint with green building
Our Commitment to Growing Sustainably
As an industry we share a crucial role in researching, developing and producing lower-carbon building materials and increasing the lifetime of materials. Hilti has strongly committed to working with the SBTi to help limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C.
In the short-term we also plan to significantly reduce carbon emissions along our entire value chain by 2033, and in the long-term to achieve net-zero by 2050. With this commitment, we can support you – our customers’ – sustainability initiatives.
If we want to be successful in the long run, we need to start conserving natural resources and reducing the environmental impact of our actions now.
