Kreate’s sustainability vision is that Kreate has satisfied and competent personnel who carry out even the most challenging infrastructure projects with strong professionalism and safety, building a better and more sustainable society every day.
In our responsibility work, we focus on three focus areas: personnel, minimizing the impact of construction and increasing our handprint, where we monitor progress with the indicators presented below.

Our operations are linked to UN Sustainable Development Goals
We are a responsible employer for whom skilled personnel are a great resource. Our own operations generate economic growth for society directly and, to a large extent, also indirectly, as infrastructure enables economic growth for other industries. In addition, the countercyclical nature of infrastructure construction supports society‘s economic growth even in difficult times.
We build sustainable infrastructure as resource-efficiently as possible. We produce high–quality solutions to support the green transition of industry and society. We focus especially on challenging projects, which offers our personnel demanding and meaningful projects.
Infrastructure construction promotes denser urban construction, smooth and safe traffic and public transport, for example through rail and tramway infrastructure.
Transport infrastructure promotes people‘s social and economic participation. Road and rail connections around Finland improve transport connections and facilitate access to services and work. In addition, high–quality infrastructure enables industrial investments and growth also in areas other than growth centres. Equality and non-discrimination are also important in our own operations.
We use resources as efficiently as possible, which also supports financial profitability. Among other things, we strive to minimise site visits, utilise alternative materials and increase the use of circular economy solutions by actively offering them within our sphere of influence. We implement the sites with fuels that meet the customer‘s requirements.
We work closely with clients (state, municipalities and cities, as well as private customers) and other stakeholders to ensure that construction takes place efficiently, smoothly and with minimal adverse effects.
Building sustainable infrastructure
We develop a healthy and committed work community that wants to promote the company‘s operations in all areas, from profitability to corporate responsibility.
