Building New Futures

The right choices today to shape a better tomorrow

‘Sustainable’ is one of our five core values. It is how we’re Building New Futures for Balfour Beatty, our industry, our communities, the environment, and for all our stakeholders. It is integral to our continued success.

With extreme weather events, rising sea levels, the competition for talent and pressures on raw materials all increasingly impacting the global economy, it is vital that businesses take responsibility for safeguarding the natural resources and communities upon which we all depend. This is why our holistic approach to sustainability, with ambitious but attainable targets across the six crucial areas of climate change, nature positive, resource efficiency, supply chain integrity, community engagement and employee diversity, equity and inclusion – is not only the right thing to do, but it also makes good business sense.

As we continue our work to deliver on the sustainability commitments and targets we have set out, we know that that the external environment is rapidly changing and that success will require us to be adaptable and innovative and that our Sustainability Strategy must continue to evolve to keep pace. Our international footprint makes our ‘Think Global, Act Local’ approach even more relevant. This means ensuring we have Group commitments that can be tailored to meet the specific demands of the countries and regions in which we operate.

Through the actions we take, and the transformative infrastructure we deliver and support, Balfour Beatty is committed to playing its part in the transition to a greener, fairer economy.
