It is one of Austria’s largest construction companies and a leading infrastructure specialist in Europe; it generates 98.4% of its total output in its seven home markets of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania. As the oldest share listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange, PORR has been part of the ATX since 2025.

PORR is and remains a construction company. It is one of Europe’s leading players. For over 156 years, PORR has been successfully delivering complex construction projects in building and civil engineering. In the infrastructure sector, it is one of the few specialists and covers all services across the entire construction value chain.

As a proven infrastructure expert, PORR delivers complex and extensive construction projects as a general and turnkey contractor – all from a single source. From planning and construction through to operation, as well as demolition or regeneration, it covers the entire construction value chain. In-house resources for raw material extraction, logistics and recycling enable PORR to implement construction projects in a particularly cost-effective and sustainable manner.

PORR offers its full range of services in its home markets within the building construction sector. As one of Europe’s leading construction companies, it has its headquarters in Vienna. In its home markets of Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania, it covers a comprehensive range of services within the building construction sector. A strong market position, regional focus and excellent market knowledge are crucial to PORR’s long-term success. In addition, in collaboration with local partners, it contributes its expertise – particularly in export products in tunnelling, rail and specialist civil engineering – to selected international project markets such as Norway, the United Kingdom (UK) and Qatar.

PORR’s Group strategy is guided by its vision: PORR – Home of Construction. To Build a Better World. Construction is at home at PORR. That is why PORR is also a home of expertise and the home of the best workforce. With its comprehensive service portfolio, it covers the entire construction value chain and places its core competence – building for a better world – at the centre.

The future of construction in Europe is shaped by four megatrends: deglobalisation, decarbonisation, digitalisation and demographic change – in short: the four “Ds”. These form the essential framework within which PORR operates. The Group’s strategy encompasses selective, sustainable growth in its seven home markets, a focus on circular construction, collaborative project delivery and lean processes. In a nutshell: intelligent growth with Green and Lean.

Our vision: PORR – Home of Construction. To Build a Better World.

Our mission: We believe in a better world, in a home made possible by sustainable buildings. Those who build change the world. For more than 156 years, it has been in our DNA to position ourselves at the forefront of the construction industry with new technologies. Our aim is to shape the environment sustainably and to promote innovation and growth. And thus to create a world worth living in for everyone – today and tomorrow. We make this possible with holistic construction solutions from a single source, from planning through construction to operation, in both building and civil engineering as well as infrastructure construction – innovative, competent and reliable – powered by PORR.

Across the Group, an average of around 20,829 employees were employed in 2025.

In the construction industry, the four ‘Ds’ – deglobalisation, digitalisation, decarbonisation and demographic change – form the key framework conditions for demand and construction processes. PORR’s long-term Group strategy is therefore aligned with these.

• Deglobalisation
  Regionalisation reduces international dependencies.
  Local supply networks increase resilience.
• Decarbonisation
  The EU has committed to climate neutrality.
  The rise in temperature is to be limited to below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
• Digitalisation
  Technology and research are driving artificial intelligence.
  Digitalisation has arrived in the construction sector.
• Demographic change
  Around 80% of Europeans will live in cities in the future.
  The average age in Europe is rising by 4.5 years as a result of low birth rates and rising life expectancy.

Ethical, fair and transparent behaviour means stability and represents the essence of responsible corporate governance. Adherence to compliance rules is particularly important in the highly fragmented construction environment. Legally compliant and transparent behaviour is a top priority at PORR. This is the only way to build trust with stakeholders and engage in responsible business practices. The overriding guiding principle of the compliance organisation is prevention. Here PORR works with a series of training measures that not only cover all staff members in quantitative terms, but also specifically address particularly vulnerable functions within the company. These include the Recruiting department within the Group Human Resources department, the Group Procurement department and selected branch managers and managing directors.

The five PORR Principles form the basis for ethical corporate governance at PORR. They are: Reliability, Shoulder to Shoulder, Appreciation, Passion and Pioneering Spirit. They are the cornerstone of the corporate culture. The PORR Principles are embedded through the PORR Principles Compass.

PORR’s values and guidelines for ethical and fair behaviour are set out in the Codes of Conduct for staff and business partners. These contain binding economic, ethical-social and environmental minimum standards. All stakeholders working with PORR or seeking to work with PORR are required to conduct themselves in accordance with the Code of Conduct for business partners. The requirements set out therein and locally applicable laws must be complied with.

PORR has a comprehensive compliance management system that covers all important aspects. This includes the topics of anti-corruption, antitrust and competition law, wage and social dumping and issuer compliance, as well as the careful handling of personal data, particularly in connection with the electronic whistleblower system. This minimises risks, ensures the quality of products and services and safeguards PORR’s reputation. The result is reflected in increased trust on the part of customers, business partners and authorities.

PORR prefers to fulfil its duty of care systematically: PORR AG, PORR Bau GmbH and all subsidiaries and national companies are certified to ISO 37001 (anti-corruption management) and ISO 37301 (compliance management system). ISO 9001 certification has been awarded to the PORR quality management system. The ISO 45001-certified management system ensures that human rights aspects are integrated into organisational processes. Annual updates are used to verify that all of the above guidelines are being implemented.

There is no place for corruption at PORR. This is binding for every stakeholder without exception. Unfair business practices can cause lasting damage to the reputation of PORR and bring it into disrepute. In addition to the guidelines and principles, PORR has implemented further measures in recent years to prevent dishonest business practices and unfair competition.

Since 2017, PORR has had a system in place through which breaches covered by the Market Abuse Regulation (issuer compliance), as well as breaches relating to money laundering or terrorist financing, could be reported. On the one hand, reports can be submitted via the email addresscompliance@porr-group.com . On the other hand, the whistleblowing platform enables anyone to communicate anonymously via the PORR website. It covers all national legal requirements and also complies with all the requirements of the Whistleblowing Directive. The platform can only be accessed by the Chief Compliance Officer and by compliance officers in the respective countries. In line with the whistleblowing system, PORR uses an IT system for reporting incidents and suggestions for improvement in the areas of anti-discrimination, harassment, complaints from local residents and human rights. The reporting of human rights incidents goes beyond the existing system – in accordance with the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. It also offers a fully anonymous reporting option.
