Balfour Beatty creates and cares for essential assets - hospitals, schools, road, rail and utility systems and buildings of all kinds. We seek to benefit the communities in which we operate not only through our work but also by engaging positively and seeking additional social benefits.
The long term success of our business depends not just on the continuing delivery of the highest-quality technical skills and disciplines, but also demonstrable commitment to and achievement in fulfilling our wider responsibilities.
Safety & health
It's our responsibility to protect our employees and the general public from the potential dangers involved in the construction process and its results. Safety is our number one priority.
Environment
Being efficient in the way we use resources creates savings for our business and is value-adding for our customers. We continue to drive environmental best practice throughout all of our operations.
People
Construction is a people business and it’s vital that we attract and retain the best talent to ensure we deliver what customers want. This means supporting and investing in our employees.
Community
The projects we build have significant impacts on the communities we serve. We work to maximise the benefits of our involvement in local communities.
Chairman's and Chief Executive’s statement
In 2006, we were awarded the Quality in Construction prize for the best Corporate Responsibility programme in the industry. Such recognition is gratifying, but we remain determined to continue to make progress in all aspects of corporate responsibility.
