ESG

For a Livable Future: Sustainability at wienerberger

Environment, social topics, governance: Determined to assume responsibility for people and nature, wienerberger is pursuing ambitious ESG targets.

Accelerating climate change, loss of biodiversity, scarce resources: As a leading provider of innovative, ecological solutions for the entire building envelope, in the fields of new build and renovation, as well as infrastructure in water and energy management, wienerberger continuously focuses on current developments. We act responsibly and ensure that future generations have the same opportunities as we have today.

Protecting and preserving the environment

Our efforts are aimed at sustainable growth. All our corporate activities are in line with our sustainability targets and subject to clear ESG (environmental, social, governance) criteria. Through the focus of the wienerberger Sustainability Program 2023-2026 on decarbonization, maintenance of biodiversity, recyclability, as well as water and waste management, we support the European Green Deal and prepare the ground for the future. Notably, our contribution to zero emission buildings and saving scarce water are the two prominent elements where wienerberger is part of the solution.
