More Sustainable Together
Working with you to make construction better
The construction industry plays a crucial role in meeting the needs of our growing population, from building schools and hospitals to homes and roads. Currently the industry consumes a huge amount of raw materials and natural resources, and is responsible for almost 40% of total global energy-related CO2 emissions.
However, there are positive signs that the industry is taking steps to become more sustainable. In a recent survey 47% of respondents said sustainability is now a major concern, and 58% of engineering and construction firms said they have reduced overall energy consumption. At Hilti we take responsibility for actively managing the environmental impact of our activities, and implementing sustainable business practices, and we are here to help you to do the same.

Working together to stop climate change
Helping you reduce your environmental impact while growing your construction business
The carbon footprint of building materials such as concrete and steel is responsible for up to 16% of global energy-related CO2 emissions. And of the total global energy-related CO2 emissions, 69% of total emissions come from operating and using existing buildings. We can't ignore these numbers. Sustainability is not just a buzz word – it will be crucial to our future success as businesses.
We want to ensure long-term success for ourselves and for you, our customers, by working together on energy efficient solutions that will help us grow our businesses sustainably. We can help you decrease your carbon footprint in the construction phase and increase energy efficiency during the operational phase, while ensuring a healthier and safer environment for your buildings. Our products and solutions can help you optimize work processes and designs to reduce wastage and increase energy efficiency.
A sustainable approach
Circular economy
Our circularity approach focuses on the entire life cycle of our products from design to production to repair, generating maximum value from a minimum use of raw construction materials and resources – doing more with less.
Explore our circular economy approachGreen buildings
Green buildings produce lower carbon emissions with higher resource and energy efficiency, using renewable and uncontaminated raw materials. We can can help you reduce the negative effects on the environment while creating a positive atmosphere for your tenants, all according to green certification criteria.

Reducing our carbon footprint with green building
As an industry we share a crucial role in researching, developing and producing lower-carbon building materials and increasing the lifetime of materials. Hilti has strongly committed to working with the SBTi to help limit the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. In the short-term we also plan to significantly reduce carbon emissions along our entire value chain by 2033, and in the long-term to achieve net-zero by 2050. With this commitment, we can support you – our customers’ – sustainability initiatives. If we want to be successful in the long run, we need to start conserving natural resources and reducing the environmental impact of our actions now.

Our sustainability progress so far
Water consumption reduced in our plants
By using water drawn from ground and surface water sources we were able to reduce water consumption in our plants by 18% compared to the year before.
Green electricity usage in all our operations worldwide
Our operations are run on 100% green electricity worldwide, either through purchase or our own photovoltaic systems.
10x increased usage of refurbished spare parts in our repairs
We have expanded our reusage program and increased the number of refurbished spare parts in our repairs from 10,000 to 100,000 in two years.
Supported by 6,000 Hilti team members
We want to have a sustainable positive impact where our employees live and work. Our social engagement is based on two programs: The Hilti Foundation and our volunteering program “Engaged Beyond Business”.
