Our Cultural Framework
Our refreshed cultural framework, launched in December 2020, provides a simple and clear view of our purpose, values and behaviours under our Build to Last strategy.
It supports business decisions, investments and our actions. It’s embedded in our operations and our business processes. It’s a reflection of who we are now as an international group, who we want to be, what we value and what drives the way we work both internally and how our partners and customers see us.

It’s fundamental to how we’re building a market leading Balfour Beatty Investment Holdings Ltd for the next 100 years. It’s our platform for sustainable growth, productivity, inclusive talent – all ensuring the best capability to deliver on our promises and our enduring commitment to Zero Harm.
