Scaffolding expert Doka has taken a significant step in its sustainability journey by joining the United Nations Global Compact last year.
The move positions the company among thousands of organisations worldwide committed to responsible business practices that support the creation of a more sustainable and equitable world.
The UN Global Compact, launched in 2000, is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 25,000 companies across over 160 countries participating. It encourages businesses to align their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles covering human rights, labour standards, environmental stewardship and anti-corruption measures. Participants are also called upon to take action in support of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a global blueprint for a more sustainable future.
“Reaching Net Zero by 2040 is a clear strategic goal for Doka. Joining the UN Global Compact is therefore a logical next step that reinforces this path,” said Robert Hauser, CEO of Doka. “Together with our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative, it demonstrates that we are taking concrete action towards this ambition and embedding sustainability into every aspect of our business.”
By joining the initiative, Doka becomes part of a global network of companies dedicated to responsible business conduct. Participants commit to reporting transparently on their progress in implementing the Ten Principles and actively contributing to the advancement of human rights, labour standards, environmental responsibility and anti-corruption. Doka will join leading construction and engineering firms, including Skanska, Vinci, STRABAG and Bouygues Construction, in driving sustainable practices across the industry.
Doka’s membership in the UN Global Compact highlights the company’s broader commitment to sustainable growth and corporate responsibility. It demonstrates that sustainability is not only central to its operations but also integral to its long-term strategy, innovation and stakeholder engagement.
Doka participated at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas, exhibiting at booth P8411 from 3-7 March. The company showcased its latest formwork solutions and construction technologies, reflecting both innovation and its commitment to sustainable practices.
