Who We Are What We Do Where We Do It Investors Sustainability Careers News Case Studies Contact Us Search Home Sustainability SUSTAINABILITY Sustainable Business ‘As we reshape the business, it’s evident that sustainability needs to take centre stage in our thinking at all levels, from the Board to the front line. It’s a fundamental part of the responsible management of any business. It’s what all our stakeholders, from customers to investors to our own people, demand. And rightly so. This isn’t about paying lip-service to the notion of responsible business; it’s about being a business that we are proud to be a part of, one which enables us to live our purpose: to create a safe and secure world, together. Last year we developed an ESG strategy, and this year we are building on it. We are still at the start of our journey but we’re developing the targets that we want to be measured by as we make progress along the route. Our commitment to addressing the global climate crisis by delivering net zero emissions by 2040 is just one example. One thing is clear, there is no chance that we will turn back.’ David Lockwood Chief Executive, Babcock International Group Sustainability is an integral part of our business We have made progress in the development of our environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy. We recognise it is increasingly important to all our stakeholders, not least our people and our customers. Our activities have a significant impact on society and the environment and sustainability is now an integral part of our corporate strategy and how we do business. You can see more about how our new approach to sustainability, driven by our corporate purpose, is central to our business model and wider strategy on these pages This year we have set out our material issues and explained why they matter. We have a number of programmes which support and make a valuable contribution to the UN SDGs. Environment Social Governance Incorporating sustainability into our everyday operations is key to ensure successful, long-term delivery outcomes and we have a responsibility to leave a positive impact on our environment. In FY21, we reset and reassessed our environmental performance. We have worked hard to develop and enhance our previous environmental, energy and carbon strategies and we are working to establish more ambitious targets, with detailed roadmaps, implementation plans and initiatives. Clean inputs We use innovative solutions to reduce our energy needs, while focusing on cleaner energy and other natural resources. We recognise that working sustainably makes strategic business sense. Responsible consumption We take our responsibility for managing the impact of our operations and those of our supply chain on the environment seriously. We integrate environmental sustainability into our programme design, optimise use of resources and minimise waste through re-use and recycling.
