Our Values and our Code

Our Code

A modern, minimalistic staircase with a person descending

Our Code is based on our values and is the guide for our daily activities. It provides direction on how to conduct ourselves when we interact with each other, our customers, our business partners and the communities in which we operate. We turn to this Code when we face an ethical dilemma. It also provides information on whom to contact when we have questions or concerns.

We comply with all applicable legal requirements. Sometimes the standards in our Code are stricter than those requirements. In these cases, we apply the higher Code standard if it does not conflict with local law. Customs or local practices never take precedence over legal requirements. If our Code appears to conflict with applicable law, consult with your manager.

To support our Code, we have more detailed policies, both at the Group and business unit levels, that apply the principles and expectations outlined in our Code.

Who must follow our Code?

  • All Skanska employees – regardless of their role – must follow this Code.
  • Our Code applies to all entities directly or indirectly controlled by Skanska. For joint ventures, we must ensure that either our Code is adopted or one that is comparable to our Code.
  • Other third parties, such as suppliers, subcontractors, consultants, brokers and agents, are also expected to adhere to the values contained in our Code by committing to our Supplier Code of Conduct (Supplier Code).

By “joint venture” we mean joint ventures, consortiums, joint operations, associations alliances, teaming arrangements, as well as other arrangements established for a project which we pursue or participate in as a contributing party.
