Our approach Key messages Following the launch of our 2020 vision and roadmap in 2009, the Sustainability Working Group has been working hard to support our businesses in its delivery. Engaging our people in the broader dimensions of sustainability has been a priority. Not only to illustrate what more sustainable practices look like but also to reinforce the importance of the contributions made by our teams in delivering more sustainable outcomes for our customers. To support this approach we developed 10 key messages for our sustainability programme. 10 1 2 3 4 We are growing our business by focusing on the markets with the greatest opportunities in the green economy. Balfour Beatty is developing a leading position in the UK offshore wind market with preferred bidder status on 40% of the current available transmission assets… We help to influence the market to adopt more sustainable outcomes. Our Italian rail business is working with academia to develop alternatives to copper in electrified rail systems, to reduce installation and maintenance costs and reduce environmental impacts… We strive to deliver excellence in sustainability by working with our customers to achieve or exceed their sustainability goals. Customers choose Balfour Beatty to help them deliver their sustainability objectives such as the largest net zero middle school in the US, which will generate more energy than it uses from the grid… We believe sustainability is a collective responsibility and engage our staff, customers, suppliers and local communities in our sustainability programmes. Sharing our knowledge across our global business gives our staff opportunities to work in different parts of the world such as Alison Rothnie in Hong Kong… Mike Peasland CEO Construction Services UK and Chair of the SWG For more information go online: balfourbeatty.com/sustainability Go to P27 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P34 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P05 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P49 to read the case study and see this in practice Balfour Beatty Sustainability Report 2011
5 6 7 8 9 10 We take a holistic approach to sustainable infrastructure, providing both environmental and community benefits. True sustainability goes beyond the environment and also delivers positive outcomes for communities such as our work on the Tolo Highway project in Hong Kong… The health and safety of our staff and the public is absolutely paramount. Read more about our Zero Harm journey here and how Parsons Brinckerhoff in Australia is exploiting GPS technology to help keep its employees safe… We help to create thriving local communities. We help thousands of disadvantaged young people improve their lives through our work with the Princes Trust in the UK… We take a long-term perspective and create infrastructure that is resilient to a changing climate. We developed a climate change adaptation framework to help our customers maintain infrastructure that is resilient to a changing climate… We work hard to reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases and re-think the way we use materials sustainably and avoid waste. Balfour Beatty has diverted nearly 8m tonnes of waste material that would have otherwise gone to landfill and re-used it to construct four major Highways schemes in the UK… We always try to protect and enhance ecological resources Working within environmental limits goes beyond carbon and materials as we seek out opportunities to enhance the ecology of our projects such as the award-winning A58 Blackbrook scheme… Balfour Beatty Sustainability Report 2011 Go to P15 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P42 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P56 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P60 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P68 to read the case study and see this in practice Go to P72 to read the case study and see this in practice 11 Our approach
