ESG in LE34
We want to contribute to a better environment, be an attractive workplace and a responsible company. With concrete and measurable initiatives, we work every day to change our profession, company and common future for the better.
In 2022, we intensified our work on ESG, in 2023 we established a dedicated ESG organisation, and in 2024 we published our first ESG report.
How we work
Which ESG areas should we work with? We involved our employees and stakeholders, partners and managers, to set the right direction together. The result was to organise the work into four tracks:
- A better environment
- A service for the environment
- An attractive workplace
- A responsible company

ESG report 2025
In 2023 and 2024, we focused on building our ESG foundation. We worked systematically to understand the requirements of the CSRD, conducted a double materiality assessment, established the necessary systems and completed our first carbon accounting. We devoted considerable effort to structuring, documenting and creating an overview.
In 2025, we took the next step.

ESG report 2024
Just as we put the finishing touches to our double materiality assessment and were well under way with establishing the data points needed to report in accordance with the CSRD, the European Commission presented its Omnibus proposal. A proposal that could change the rules significantly. If adopted in full, we as a company will no longer be required to report under the CSRD.

A better environment
In 2024, we completed our first carbon footprint assessment. This enables us to work in a data-driven way towards a carbon-neutral future. A dedicated working group is committed to prioritising and implementing initiatives within carbon reduction, consumption and procurement, and waste reduction.
Our ambitions for 2030:
- To reduce our carbon emissions to a minimum.
- To ensure climate- and resource-conscious consumption of goods.
- To reduce waste and ensure that our own waste is recycled.
Contributing to a better environment
Our ambition for 2030 is clear. We want to be at the forefront of how we use our land resources in the best possible way for the environment.
At LE34, we work every day on projects related to the green transition. Whether it involves land for urban development, wind and solar farms, climate-lowland areas or rail and road infrastructure projects, environmental considerations are a recurring theme that we must address.
Political initiatives such as “The Green Tripartite Agreement” set the overall framework, but we contribute to concrete solutions and agreements in the field. This is a responsibility that requires commitment and where we can make a difference.
Our strategic focus, ambitions and day-to-day work with ‘Contributing to a better environment’ are anchored in our Environment, Planning & Law business area – a unique interdisciplinary team of environmental consultants, planners, surveyors, landscape managers and lawyers.
Through close collaboration across departments and dedicated working groups with a particular focus on climate change, we sharpen our focus on the challenges facing society. We are committed to improving our efforts and ensuring that we deliver the best possible solutions. By strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing, we create a solid foundation for the green transition of the future.
Kenneth Norre, CEO of LE34
We need to learn how we can better use our professionalism to benefit the environment and climate, and where our behaviour as a company and workplace calls for change.
Rikke Kjeldsmark Møller, ESG Manager at LE34
In 2022, we started an ESG process to learn more about ourselves. Where we are and where we are going. Where we are doing well and where there is room for change.
An attractive workplace
In 2024, we achieved ISO 45001 certification in Occupational Health and Safety Management. This confirms that we have an occupational health and safety management system that enables the organisation to create a safe and healthy working environment. The certification therefore goes hand in hand with our other efforts to ensure that LE34 is an attractive workplace. A workplace with room and equal conditions for everyone that is attractive to current and future employees.
Our ambitions for 2030:
- Equality and diversity among employees and at all management levels.
- A workplace where we look after each other’s health and well-being through a safe and secure working environment.
- Good training and career opportunities – personal, professional and managerial.
A responsible company
Our ambition is to work in a structured and transparent way with integrity, fairness and credibility. We require our suppliers and business partners to do the same. That is why we have implemented policies on our Code of Conduct, anti-corruption, IT and data security, as well as a whistleblower scheme.
Our ambitions for 2030:
- Our suppliers must meet UN standards on human rights, labour, environmental requirements and anti-corruption.
- To be an independent and transparent company that treats people with dignity and respect. Neither we nor our business partners tolerate corruption in any form.
- To be a trustworthy business partner that manages data in accordance with our data ethics policy and prioritises high IT security for all our customers and business partners.
- To take social responsibility by offering a route into the labour market through projects, internships, apprenticeships and work placements.
