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.
