Anders Danielsson, President and CEO of Skanska, said in May 2025 that there are "lots of data centers in the pipeline" and that the market for them has been "booming" for some time, driven by AI demand. He noted that while investment decisions are taking longer due to increased uncertainty, the company has not seen any project cancellations. Danielsson also stated that cooperation between countries is "good news" for the industry and the economy, and expressed optimism about political willingness to invest in infrastructure. In a separate May 2025 interview, Danielsson discussed Skanska's 60-year history as a publicly listed company, stating that being listed has helped the company expand internationally and become more operationally efficient. He highlighted the company's sustainability goals, reporting that Skanska had achieved a 60% reduction of carbon in its own operations by the end of 2023, toward a 2030 target of 70%. Danielsson also described data centers as a "fast growing segment" within Skanska's U.S. business, which he said accounts for approximately half of the group's revenue.
“For 2030, we should have achieved 70% reduction of carbon in our own operations compared to the base year. At year end 2023, we had achieved 60%, so we are on our way and making good progress.”
“In construction we build heavy infrastructure like roads and bridges, social infrastructure such as universities, hospitals, airports and digital infrastructure such as data centers which is a fast growing segment when AI and data storage is booming.”
