True green construction requires a holistic approach to the materials, insulation systems and energy supply, taking into account their environmental impact for years to come.

We know that we have to take actions.
We are aware of the enormous contribution of the construction sector to the anthropogenic greenhouse gas air emissions. It is estimated that the sector contributes more than 35% of the total greenhouse gas air emissions. Based on a sense of responsibility and a sustainable business conduct, we follow-up already launched activities and develop new ones with the aim to reduce the speed of negative climate change. We have competences that allow us to design and develop environment-friendly systems, mainly photovoltaic farms and wind farms, as well as in the area of timber modular construction or BREEAM and LEED-certified buildings.

Our efforts to minimise our climate impact have been recognised by experts. In the 2023 Company Climate Awareness Survey, ERBUD S.A. earned 9.33 out of 10 points possible. During the survey, 10 evaluation criteria were applied, including management of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reporting of emissions or inclusion of climate impacts in the strategy.
Air Emissions
At ERBUD S.A., we have adopted a climate policy for the years 2020-2050. In it, we have defined the main objectives aimed at improving energy efficiency and reducing the carbon footprint throughout the entire value chain of the ERBUD Group, which will result in mitigation of changes and adaptation to the changing climate.
The ERBUD Group’s Climate Policy aims to indicate managerial supervision over the challenges related to the prevention of negative climate change, setting climate goals for all companies belonging to the ERBUD Group, along with indicating the mechanisms for their implementation. It defines the risks and presents an assessment of their impact on the business model, the impact of climate change on the activities of individual business segments, defines key indicators as well as emission reductions in scope 1, 2 and the extension of reduction activities to scope 3.
Circular economy
We know that proper management of material and waste management translates into the amount of waste generated and its impact on the environment. Therefore, our Group’s priority is to prevent or reduce waste.
The circular economy is most strongly supported in the ERBUD Group by MOD21, which specializes in wooden module construction. Wood is one of the most environmentally friendly building materials. With a rational resource management policy, it is fully renewable. The material we obtain comes from certified plantations where new trees are planted in place of felled trees.
