Skanska is involved in some of the UK’s most prestigious building and infrastructure projects, working with both private and public-sector clients. Skanska also delivers numerous smaller schemes, including public-realm improvement, hard and soft landscaping and utilities projects.
In addition, by combining skills and experience in construction and infrastructure development they have become a UK leader in delivering schemes in healthcare, education, defence, transportation and municipal services that bring together private and public investment.
Working together with clients, partners and supply chain, Skanska makes a positive difference to each project. Part of that is their resolute commitment to a more sustainable world, creating green solutions and setting high standards in green construction, as well as helping project stakeholders to make more sustainable choices. In acknowledgement, in June 2011 Skanska was named the greenest company in the UK across all industries in The Sunday Times Best Green Companies Awards.
Skanska also strives to lead in health and safety, business ethics and the working environment. Construction News named them Employer of the Year in its 2012 awards. Skanska's Code of Conduct and Five Zeros together embody their values and form the foundation of their culture: zero loss-making projects, zero accidents, zero environmental incidents, zero ethical breaches and zero defects.
Skanska UK is backed by the financial strength of Skanska AB in Sweden.
