Collective responsibility in your own words

In 2010, I travelled to Swaziland with a team of Balfour Beatty employees to deliver a project which provided clean water to local communities. It really brought home the message that we should live within environmental limits

Healthy communities

We are 50,000 individuals creating and maintaining infrastructure to serve communities. Recognising the impact we have on people is vital.

Our pre-eminent concern must be safety – not only of our own people, but of everyone we come into contact with. Our sustainability as a business depends on how we recruit, develop and motivate our people, so this must be a priority too. And we recognise our wider responsibility to the local communities wherever we work.

In this section, explore how we are:

  • keeping our people and communities safe through our Zero Harm programme
  • developing our employees to make the most of their talents, and to ensure we have the skills we need to grow our business and deliver our 2020 vision
  • ensuring our employees to have the opportunities to grow and maximise their potential, irrespective of age, gender, ethnicity, colour, disability, sexual orientation or religion.
  • working with our supply chain to innovate for more sustainable overcomes
  • helping to enrich the communities in which we work.
