Procurement for Impact: Skanska’s vision for a competitive, sustainable EU

In a time when the climate challenge demands real results rather than good intentions, public procurement stands out as one of the European Union’s most powerful tools. Representing more than 14 percent of the EU’s GDP, procurement can accelerate the green transition, boost competitiveness and foster innovation – if used strategically.

To unlock this potential, we need smarter, future-ready rules. The current procurement framework was not built to meet the challenges ahead. That’s why we’ve developed Procurement for Impact – a report that presents real-world project examples, policy insights and concrete recommendations for the upcoming revision of EU public procurement legislation.

Our goal with Procurement for Impact is to help shift the conversation: from viewing procurement as a technical procedure to recognizing it as a strategic instrument – for climate action, for business growth and for Europe’s future.
