Pioneering the way to sustainability.
Making responsibility the benchmark.
Sustainability is not a trend for us – it is a mindset. We take responsibility for our customers, ourselves, and future generations. With a clear strategy and innovative solutions, we support our customers in achieving their own sustainability goals. Because we share a vision: shaping a climate-friendly future – together, as strong partners.
Less is not enough.
Net Zero by 2040.
We have set an ambitious goal: By 2040, we will achieve net zero emissions while actively contributing to the transformation of the construction industry. We are convinced that it is crucial to lead by example: By the end of 2024, we were the first formwork and scaffolding company worldwide to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and we will have our targets scientifically validated within the next 24 months. With defined steps and a consistent strategy, we are navigating our path toward a zero-emission future.

1 Scope 1: Direct emissions from our company, e.g., during production.
Scope 2: Emissions from purchased energy, e.g., electricity for offices.
Scope 3: Emissions across the value chain, e.g., employee mobility, waste management, purchased goods.
2 90% reduction of emissions, 10% will be neutralized.
3 These targets have not yet been validated by the SBTi but represent the minimum requirements set by the SBTi for the absolute reduction pathway aligned with the 1.5°C goal.
Our path to Net Zero
Approximately 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions result from the construction and operation of buildings.4 For this reason, our company focuses on actions that stem from our core business and have the greatest potential for impact, innovative technologies, and future-proofed materials that radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions and drive the circular economy.

Decarbonization
By using resource-efficient materials, energy-efficient processes, and climate-friendly solutions, we are systematically reducing our greenhouse gas emissions.
Circular Economy
Our goal is to keep materials in circulation for as long as possible. We develop durable products and promote reuse, repair, and recycling.
Knowledge creates change.
Product Carbon Footprint
To effectively reduce emissions, we must first gain a clear understanding of them. This requires identifying the greenhouse gas emissions our products generate throughout their lifecycle. Doka is setting new standards for more climate-friendly product design by calculating the Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) for over 7,000 products and providing customers with independently authenticated data to make informed decisions.
Reconsidering resources throughout their entire lifecycle.
We design our products to last – even under the toughest jobsite conditions. Through our expertise in professional refurbishment and repair, we extend their lifespan and reduce the need for new resources. We are already taking first steps to reintegrate recycled materials into our products' life cycle and continue to expand this approach. Our rental model also enables customers to use formwork and scaffolding as needed instead of purchasing them. This saves additional materials, reduces waste, and makes construction more efficient – all of which are important contributions to our goal: Net Zero by 2040.
Reuse & Refurbishment
Through our rental model, we promote the reuse of our products. We adapt and upgrade existing products to meet new requirements, extending their usability.
Recovery & Recycling
Our goal is to recycle materials from old products, reintegrate them into new ones, and use them for energy generation at the end of their lifecycle.
Refuse & Reduce
As much as needed, as little as possible: We avoid using non-recyclable materials and optimize material use to minimize waste and enhance resource efficiency.
Longevity & Repairability
Our Doka products are designed for long-lasting performance and easy repair. If possible, we repair damaged products, thereby extending their lifespan and maximizing resource efficiency.
From planning to completion
Solutions for sustainable construction sites
We support construction companies in driving decarbonization on site. With climate-friendly products, smart solutions, and optimized processes, we help our clients use materials in a resource-saving way, reduce emissions, and make the construction process more efficient.
Here is a selection of our products that help implement construction projects with a focus on climate and resource efficiency:

Doka commits to Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)
Learn moreDoka has become the first company in its industry to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Within the next 24 months, we will have our emission reduction targets validated. By aligning its goals with the SBTi, Doka is positioning itself in the forefront to global effort to decarbonize the construction industry.
Establishing criteria for calculating the product carbon footprint of formwork and scaffolding
Learn moreDoka is once again demonstrating that it is a pioneer in sustainability by playing a key role in the development of standards for calculating product carbon footprints for the formwork and scaffolding industry.
RCC2 research project: CO2 savings of up to 80 % possible in construction with innovative concrete
Learn moreThe Austrian research study RCC2 (reduced carbon concrete) investigated the potential of new innovative concrete mixes. The broad-based consortium tested ways to establish CO2-reduced and even climate-neutral concrete as the new state of the art.
Change starts with us!
Sustainability is not just one of many topics for us – it is a fundamental responsibility. That’s why our dedicated Sustainability Management team focuses on consistently advancing our climate goals.
Strength in collaboration
We develop our sustainability strategy in partnership with Umdasch Group AG and our sister companies, umdasch The Store Makers and umdasch Industrial Solutions. All initiatives and projects are documented in our joint annual report.
Concrete actions. Measurable results.
As a sign of our long-term commitment, we rely on certified standards in our products and processes. This ensures that our customers can count on us as a trusted partner in achieving their climate goals.
Ecovadis
In 2025, the Ecovadis sustainability assessment was conducted for Doka GmbH worldwide for the first time. We were awarded the "Committed" badge following the assessment.
Climate Choice
To derive data-driven recommendations for reducing our CO2e footprint, we have had our climate performance evaluated by "The Climate Choice" and were rated at the "Silver" level in 2024.
