CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURE
The Board sets policy and takes responsibility for Balfour Beatty's
performance in safety, health, the environment, business ethics, risk
management, human rights and other social issues.
In early 2001, the Business Practices Committee of the Board was
established to review policy, practice and performance in these areas.
The Committee, which comprises non-executive Directors under the
Chairmanship of Steve Marshall, receives reports from the Chief Executive
and from the Group Director of Safety, Health and the Environment. It meets
four times a year.
Helping to tackle global issues

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.
