Building New Futures
Balfour Beatty Investment Holdings Ltd prides itself on being a responsible, sustainable business. Our new Sustainability Strategy embodies our ambition to go further to reduce our environmental footprint and to have a positive, sustainable impact wherever we work.
But ‘Sustainability’ is not a one-size-fits-all approach. So, in line with Balfour Beatty Investment Holdings Ltd’s “think global, act local” guiding imperative, our aim is to set out our global goals, to provide an overarching framework and empower our colleagues to take action to deliver a better future in their geographies. Across the UK, US and Hong Kong, each of our businesses are now developing bespoke Sustainability Action Plans to ensure we address specific local challenges and priorities and leave a positive legacy in the communities we serve.
Uniting each of our Sustainability Action Plans are our three 2040 ambitions:
- Beyond Net Zero Carbon
- Generate Zero Waste
- Positively Impact More than 1 Million People
Underpinned by our 2030 targets and aligned to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals1(SDGs) which provide a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, each of our 2040 ambitions focuses on an area that has been identified as the most material to our business by key stakeholder groups including our customers, employees, shareholders and the communities we operate in. Each area is aligned to one or more SDGs with our Strategy as a whole focussing on the parts of SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure2 - that are most relevant to us.
Here are some of our key highlights to date:
