Social value - the power to change lives

Social value

We're all about delivering the kind of social value that changes lives for good. 

To us, that means turning economic inactivity, poverty and disadvantage into prosperity, and setting communities up for long-term success.

We understand the influence of major infrastructure programmes on local communities, and we use that knowledge to make sure our projects unlock social value, accelerate social, economic and environmental wellbeing and help society thrive.

Doing business for good 

We do business so we can create sustainable, well-paid jobs, attract brilliant people and support diverse businesses.

Our culture of social responsibility means respecting our stakeholders, local cultures and communities while staying committed to ethical values and sustainable development at every step.

Every day, we work hard to nurture skills, practise transparency, fairness and equality, inspire the next generation of talent and protect our natural environment.

A world of opportunity

We've set our sights on being an employer of choice, recruiting people from a range of backgrounds, promoting equal opportunities and making sure our workforce always reflects the communities we work in.

From STEM opportunities and work experience programmes to graduate schemes, student placements and apprenticeships, we do everything we can to help people of all education levels to accelerate.

Positive partnerships

We're always building and strengthening relationships with community organisations and non-profits, as well as partnering with programmes that drive opportunities for the unemployed and underrepresented.

We're fully engaged in improving access to quality education, supporting students of all ages and backgrounds with charitable support and community empowerment.

The added value? Our people get to volunteer their skills and knowledge for the good of society too.

Great minds, great results

We only use suppliers that align with our social policies and values, and we collaborate with local supply chains, small and medium-sized businesses, social enterprises and volunteers wherever we can.
