Performances of the Budimex Group directly affect the shape of the environment in given local communities. On the one hand, new investments improve the quality of life of the residents – new roads, culture centres, modern hospitals, new jobs, but the construction process itself, often lasting many months, may be disruptive to the environment. It involves transport of building materials, more intense vehicle traffic, noise and dust, traffic restrictions (e.g. re-routing, narrowing or speed limits). Every potential impact of our investments on the environment is analysed at the stage of issuing administrative decisions, where representatives of the inhabitants take part in social consultations in order to reconcile the interests of all parties and avoid possible differences and conflicts, when a given investment is already in progress.
