Sustainability and Responsibility

Pittel+Brausewetter has been active in the construction industry for more than 150 years. We address ecolo­gical, economic and social issues within the framework of our management systems, processes and opera­tional activities.

In doing so, we pursue a practice-oriented approach: we take relevant requi­re­ments into account within our existing struc­tures and conti­nuously develop processes and measures based on practical experience, internal assess­ments and changing legal, technical and organi­sa­tional framework condi­tions.

As a construction company, sustaina­bility affects various areas of our daily activities. These include, among others, the use of energy and resources, the use and processing of building materials, logistics processes, as well as occupa­tional safety and health.

Environment, Energy and Resources

Since summer 2025, Pittel + Brausewetter has had its own railway siding in Vienna-Inzersdorf. This provides the technical possi­bility to shift material transport from road to rail. The impact is documented based on the quantities actually trans­ported, the truck journeys replaced and the green­house gas emissions calcu­lated from this.

Also located at the Vienna-Inzersdorf site is ContraCon, the building materials recycling company belonging to the Pittel+Brausewetter Group, which means that the Group has its own expertise in the field of building materials recycling.

The environ­mental management of the Pittel+Brausewetter Group in Austria is based on a management system certified in accordance with ISO 14001:2015. Within this system, relevant environ­mental aspects of the respective scope are syste­ma­ti­cally considered and assessed. The insights gained from this are incor­po­rated into existing processes and opera­tional proce­dures.

With an energy management system certified in accordance with ISO 50001:2018, the Pittel+Brausewetter Group in Austria creates a struc­tured framework for dealing with energy. In parti­cular, energy use and energy consumption are recorded and assessed. This supports the identi­fi­cation of oppor­tu­nities to improve energy-related performance and the review of corre­sponding measures.

People and Working Environment

For us, respon­si­bility also includes how we treat our employees. At Pittel+Brausewetter, we place great importance on respectful, appre­ciative and fair inter­action with one another. The dignity and rights of every individual are of central importance to us.

We are committed to complying with all appli­cable legal requi­re­ments and to maintaining a working environment in which appre­ciation, fairness and mutual respect form an important basis for coope­ration.

To meet future challenges, we rely on future-oriented personnel develo­pment. In doing so, we promote diversity, equal oppor­tu­nities and the individual potential of our employees, while creating condi­tions for profes­sional and personal develo­pment.

For occupa­tional safety and health, Pittel+Brausewetter has a management system certified in accordance with ISO 45001:2018.

Integrity and Compliance

The Code of Conduct contains funda­mental standards of conduct for our employees and business partners and therefore provides a further framework for respon­sible and integrity-based action.

The compliance management of the Pittel+Brausewetter Group in Austria is based on a management system certified in accordance with ISO 37301:2021. It creates a struc­tured framework for complying with relevant legal and internal requi­re­ments and for embedding compliance in the corre­sponding processes.

In addition, the Pittel+Brausewetter Group in Austria has an anti-bribery management system certified in accordance with ISO 37001:2016. This provides struc­tured requi­re­ments and processes for preventing and dealing with corruption risks.
