Moss Adams Community Service Champion of Diversity Award -- Business Diversity

Skanska

Skanska aims to uphold an inclusive culture where team members are recognized, respected, included and supported.

Skanska emphasized diversity and inclusion on its work on the L300 link light rail line extension, constructing 3.7 miles from Shoreline to Lynnwood Transit Center, including two elevated stations, 2.3 miles of elevated guideway, 1.4 miles of at-grade track, and a 1,650-stall parking garage. The project exceeded goals for people of color, DBEs, and SBEs. The project involved significant engagement with local governments and transit authorities, and coordination with WSDOT was crucial due to construction along Interstate 5.

In 2023, Skanska enhanced its internship program with virtual sessions and global networking. The Skanska Women’s Network celebrated its 10th anniversary, focusing on professional development and mentorship.

Headquartered in Sweden, Skanska’s diversity & inclusion (D&I) infrastructure includes councils and committees at the global, national and local levels to implement strategic initiatives, enable connectivity across the business and ensure local offices in the U.S. have what they need to succeed. All D&I efforts align with Skanska USA and Skanska Global’s D&I strategy.

Reflecting Skanska’s commitment to D&I in the U.S., the company established a national D&I team to enable its D&I strategy and better support its people, customers and communities. Skanska’s D&I program provides D&I resources to employees and project teams including supplier diversity, training, EEO and affirmative action resources and training, and a roadmap to promoting, enforcing, and monitoring Skanska D&I metrics on an annual basis.
