CR in our business

As a world-class engineering, construction and services group, which serves customers for whom infrastructure quality, efficiency and reliability are critical, we endeavour to build the principles of sustainable development into all aspects of our business.

This means doing business with integrity, aspiring to the highest levels of standards of safety and health for People, managing our environmental impacts and being committed to delivering on our full range of social responsibilities.

Our approach and management systems cover our global activities and we report on incidents and penalties on a global basis.

We collate safety data for all of our wholly owned activities and for those joint ventures where we have management control. Subcontractor safety performance is included for all activities apart from the US where it is not common practice.

Our environment data is reported for all wholly-owned UK and European businesses. Our other overseas businesses are progressing towards reporting environmental performance to the same standards.

We report on employee data for all our wholly-owned businesses worldwide.

There has been a number of changes to the structure of Balfour Beatty since we produced our last report and this is reflected in the content.

Two acquisitions, Charter and Edgar Allen, were completed in spring 2006 in the US and UK respectively.

Birse, a UK civil engineering company, was acquired later in the year and its systems are being integrated into the business through Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering and Mansell.

Our projects directly improve the lives of people and their communities. Understanding their expectations is critical to our future as a business.
