Sustainability/CSR

At Balfour Beatty Capital we believe that the long term success of our business depends on the continuing delivery of the highest-quality skills, expertise and service in a manner that shows demonstrable commitment to our wider responsibilities.

Sustainability is increasingly important to how we do business. We continue to look for opportunities to improve and share best practice within our own business, with our partners and through supporting the operations of the Asset and Concession Companies.

In undertaking our responsibilities, our model for sustainability has been developed to take account of the physical, social and economic environments that we work in. The principles and commitments within our environmental, health and safety, quality and sustainability policies are reflected through all aspects of our work.

It is our aim throughout our business to reduce the impact we have on the environment, promote sustainable development and work proactively with our stakeholders. Our ultimate goal is to bring positive and long term social, economic and environmental benefit to the communities we support and interact with.

We encourage our project stakeholders to work in partnership with us to identify improved ways of working. Wherever possible, we look to include renewable technologies, recycled materials, promote sustainable designs and use locally sourced products and services. We also work closely with stakeholders to understand and develop their sustainability objectives.

In aiming to continuously improve our performance we strive to develop new initiatives to promote sustainable development, as well as in the protection and enhancement of our environment and communities we support. To achieve our sustainability strategy annual objectives and targets are set to:

improve our environmental and health and safety performance
enhance community engagement programmes
develop systems to support our people.

Our objectives, targets and performance, including our wider achievements are reported within our annual corporate responsibility report. In addition we manage and improve our management systems to enhance the environment; protect the health and safety of our people; and improve the quality of our service. In doing so, we work towards meeting the requirements of BS EN ISO 14001:2004, BS EN ISO 9001:2000 and BS OHSAS 18001:2007.
