Communication is a key component of our business, and the way we communicate affects our reputation with our stakeholders and the public. We follow the formal communication rules for Swedish-listed companies.

This means that we:

Respond in a professional manner and provide timely, accurate, relevant, reliable information when communicating with external parties
Speak to the media on behalf of Skanska only when we are authorized to do so, and refer media requests for information to the designated spokespeople of our business units
Always clarify whether we are speaking on behalf of Skanska or ourselves as individuals when communicating externally
Protect the Skanska brand and remain respectful of others when using our personal social media accounts
Refer media enquiries regarding Skanska shares or finances to Core Corporate Function Communications or Group Function Investor Relations

I’ve received a call from a journalist asking about Skanska’s financial performance in connection with a specific project. What do I do?

Only designated people are authorized to speak with the media on behalf of Skanska. Politely explain to the journalist that you will put them in contact with the appropriate spokesperson or your business unit’s Head of Communications.

I’ve posted a comment and picture on social media showing my colleagues celebrating a project milestone. A friend commented on my post asking about the use of recycled materials in the construction process. This is not within my area of expertise, and I am unsure of the answer. What do I do?

If you wish to reply, please check the answer with the appropriate person on the Sustainability team and ensure that any information you give is public knowledge. Do not give false or misleading information about Skanska, even on your personal social media accounts.
