Committed to responsible management
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.
Managing Corporate Responsibility
We are committed to the principles of good governance set out in the Combined Code on Corporate Governance and have clearly stated policies. We aim to do business with integrity aspiring to the highest standards.
Safety and Health
It’s our responsibility to protect our employees and the general public from the potential hazards involved in the construction process and its products. 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 our operations.
People
Construction is a people business and it is vital that we attract, retain and motivate the best talent to ensure we deliver what our customers need. 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.
Making Progress
“We are becoming increasingly successful in spreading good practice to all our operating companies across the globe.”
Chairman and Chief Executive statement
We regard our reporting process as of great importance, not only in communicating our approach and achievements, but also to demonstrate to our customers that we aim to match or even surpass the very high standards of responsible conduct which they set themselves and their supply chain partners.
