Our priorities
Balfour Beatty has a firm and explicit commitment to fulfilling its responsibilities to all of its stakeholders.
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.
We create and care 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.
Our framework for managing and reporting safety, health, environment impacts, people and community issues is an integral part of our business processes.
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.
Helping to tackle global issues
We are committed to the principles of Sustainable Construction and have engaged with Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace and the Environment Agency to understand external expectations of our environmental performance. We also play a part in helping reduce poverty in third world countries and are active participants in the anti-corruption movement.
