János Lázár

Minister of Construction and Investment

Kai dreba kūnas ir trūksta oro.
Kai nėra nei motyvacijos, nei noro.
Kai per daug kažko to blogo.
Kai nebelieka nieko doro.
Kai nori skrist į platų dangų.
Kai laimę siekti nori, bent pirščiukais rankų.
Kai tu bandai, nes myli, kas aplinkui.
Kai pasiduoti tenka, nes supranti, kad veltui.
Bet tu laikaisi, nors už trumpo plauko.
Ir nesvarbu, kaip gyvenimas perpus tave laužo.
Įgriso viskas iki gyvo kaulo. Nuo anapus, atrodo niekas nebesaugo.
Šiukšlynas, o ne žemė čia.
Neveikia tau nei rankos, nei galva.
Žinai, kad ten graži, rami dangaus sala.
Kaip lengva būtų palikti viską nejučia.
Bet staugia į akis - nepasiduok.
Rėkia, kad daugiau svajok.

She has had a diverse range of positions in Municipality Technical Department, in Consultancy Services Company, in Bearing Manufacturing Industry and now also in the Construction and Civil Engineering Industry, with environmental management as the common thread. She has also, on a professional basis, been part of the boards of directors in several organization for Industry cooperation for the management of the environment, such as a Water Conservation Association and an Environmental Law Association. Furthermore, her involvement in academia, e g as member of the programme council for the MSc Engineering Program Global Systems in Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, has allowed her to contribute to the education and training of future environmentally aware engineers and leaders.
In 2018 she joined Peab AB, one of the largest Nordic Construction and Civil Engineering Company with 14,000 employees and net sales of more than EUR 5 billion, where she has taken on the position as Head of Group Environment. In this role she leads the company towards a more sustainable future, with focus on increasing the resource efficiency and the biodiversity and at the same time reducing the climate footprint and the use of hazardous substances, with the aim to strengthen the company’s competitiveness on a market with rapidly increasing environmental requirements. One example of achievement is the collaborative development of a roadmap for carbon neutrality, which covers all the material sources of greenhouse gas emissions and establishes strategies for net zero emissions in 2045, where the use of green energy for material manufacturing will be crucial. The action plan includes the internal establishment of dedicated cross functional teams as well as cooperation with essential customers, suppliers and other external actors – together we will succeed!
