OUR PRIORITIES
Balfour Beatty has a firm and explicit commitment to fulfilling its
responsibilities to all of its stakeholders.
The long-term success of our business depends not just on the continued
delivery of the highest-quality technical skills and disciplines, but also on
demonstrable commitment to and achievement in fulfilling our wider
responsibilities.
We create and care 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.
Our framework for managing and reporting safety, health and environmental
impacts, people and community issues is an integral part of our business
processes.
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.

Executive's statement
Helping to tackle global issues
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.
