“Sustainable renovation must be more attractive than building new structures on greenfield sites. When new construction takes place, sustainable and natural materials must be prioritized. To achieve this, a great deal of awareness-raising and educational work is still needed, in addition to forward-looking pilot projects and corresponding legislative initiatives.”

“Thanks to our many years of experience in construction, we bring valuable expertise to the construction process at VIVIUS. At the same time, we benefit from this collaboration by deepening our knowledge of sustainability and participating in innovative research projects. For us, sustainability means the interplay of environmental, economic, and social aspects—from reducing waste on construction sites and using sustainable materials to ensuring fair working conditions and practicing resource-efficient behavior in our day-to-day office operations.”

‍“As part of a statewide network of over 160 companies, ARO brings valuable expertise to the maintenance and upkeep of buildings—an often underestimated but essential aspect of sustainable construction. Our partnership with VIVIUS gives us the opportunity to develop in targeted ways and drive innovative, sustainable solutions forward. Our certification with the South Tyrol Sustainability Label and the calculation of our carbon footprint underscore our commitment. Through digital processes and optimized workflows, we minimize emissions and thus actively contribute to resource-efficient building operations in South Tyrol.”
