Global issues
We take our responsibilities to all our stakeholders seriously. We are committed to the principles of Sustainable Construction and seek to influence our customers and our suppliers to adhere to these principles, where we can.
We measure our major environmental impacts and have set targets for reducing our carbon footprint. We have engaged with Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace to understand their agenda as well as the Environment Agency to ensure that our work is in line with their aims and objectives.
We play a leading role in the Anti-Corruption Forum and aim to keep our employees informed of latest thinking in anti-competitive practices.
We use our influence within Engineers Against Poverty to work towards alleviating poverty in third world countries.
And we are conscious of the principles of human rights when we make business decisions regarding new work overseas or engaging additional suppliers.
Chairman and Chief Executive's statement
We have continued to evaluate, critically, all our governance and management systems to ensure their suitability for purpose. Policies have been renewed and, where necessary, restated. We are updating the terms of reference of the Business Practices Committee so that it can monitor, evaluate and guide our non-financial performance more effectively.
