Sustainability Aims

Community sustainability is central to the delivery of all our contracts. We demonstrate our commitment to local communities and local supply chain where possible by:

  • Operating contracts from dedicated local offices
  • Providing employment, apprenticeships, training and skills development opportunities, as well as sourcing suppliers locally
  • Investing in community liaison staff
  • Maximising collaboration with community services in order to understand and overcome the issues facing the community
  • Liaising with community groups, suppliers and client representatives in order to identify the perceived weaknesses, strengths, failures and successes of each contract's social, environmental and economic aspects
  • Community engagement and consultation at all stages of the contract: during design, construction and after completion
  • Investment of gain share into community based initiatives to the direct benefit of the local residents
  • Development of sustainable and attractive homes and buildings
  • Sponsorship and support for local initiatives, such as walking bus, recreational facilities, transport services, community events, breakfast clubs, refurbishments, outreach cultural workshops for schools.
