HSF System reports lower carbon footprint and expands sustainability measures

HSF System, part of the PURPOSIA Group, has reported a significant reduction in its carbon footprint and introduced new steps aimed at improving the sustainability of its construction activities. The company continued refining its ESG data collection in 2024, expanded energy-efficiency initiatives, and strengthened its approach to circular construction.

In the Czech Republic, the company recorded a carbon footprint of 164.58 tCO₂ per employee, a 54% reduction compared with 2023. Its Slovak subsidiary, HSF System SK, calculated its carbon footprint for the first time at 177.09 tCO₂ per employee. The analysis was carried out by Green0meter and ČSOB Advisory based on the GHG Protocol. According to ESG manager Petra Cichoňová, clearer legislative frameworks and methodologies for life-cycle assessments would support wider adoption of low-carbon construction practices.

During the year, HSF System installed a photovoltaic system at its Ostrava headquarters and added electric vehicles to its fleet. The company also strengthened cooperation with waste processors and introduced a supplier Code of Ethics as part of efforts to increase transparency within the supply chain. Director Tomáš Kosa noted that the group is voluntarily reporting ESG data and is exploring circular construction principles to limit environmental impact.

Sustainability measures are integrated across the company’s role as a general contractor, including material-efficient design, digital planning to reduce waste, and interest in modular and prefabricated construction methods. HSF System also participates in industry initiatives through the Association of Building Entrepreneurs, where it contributes to ESG methodology development. Cichoňová will serve as an ambassador for the Czech Green Building Council’s #BuildingLife campaign.

The company is involved in several research partnerships, including 3D concrete printing development with VŠB – Technical University of Ostrava and studies on building energy efficiency with the University of Žilina. In 2025, HSF System received Deloitte’s Best Managed Companies award for Czechia and Slovakia.
