Management approach In 2023, we carried out many customer meetings Solutions helping to save lives and protect assets to discuss the prevailing sustainability trends and associated requirements in the construction industry. Based on these collaborative efforts, we con昀椀rmed 昀椀ve trends that are important for sustainable building Better protection against Lifetime performance at Hilti: critical events 1. Resource ef昀椀ciency to optimize material usage and reduce waste Seismic Fire High-performing Quality Installation 2. Energy ef昀椀ciency to reduce operational emissions Protection Protection Hardware and Documentation 3. Improvements to the health and safety of the people living or working in the building Safer building designs 4. High adaptability to changing environments with minimum environmental impact 5. Data transparency and collaboration with customers Training & Consulting Design Building Information on data transparency Software Modeling Design Hilti’s solutions provide building owners with an opportunity to decrease their carbon footprint in the construction phase and increase energy ef昀椀ciency during the operational phase, while giving their which stand on a foundation of safer building design: The foundation of long-lasting buildings is created buildings a healthier and safer environment. Our better protection against critical events, such as 昀椀re in part by the durable hardware elements placed in products also support our customers in achieving or earthquakes, and lifetime performance, ensuring those buildings. We help to ensure the performance of green building standards. For example, our the long-term durability of our solutions. our fasteners by running long-term testing in corrosive Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) are issued environments, such as in coastal areas that have by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt e.V., and our Material In the 昀椀eld of seismic protection, we offer solutions 昀氀uctuating temperatures and high humidity levels.
