Values and Ethics, Zero Harm and Sustainability:  they set out how we relate to key stakeholders, residents, employees, customers and suppliers.  

Values and Ethics

At Balfour Beatty Communities, we believe that by having one set of values—companywide—guides the way we interact with our clients, our employees and our vendors in everything we say and do. Upholding these shared values as individuals and a company not only strengthens us and improves our day-to-day business practices and operations, but also gives us all a sense of belonging and creates a greater sense of unity.
  
In defining these values, we spoke to a broad range of stakeholders, including clients, customers, vendors, suppliers, partners, and employees. This research has helped us to reflect on who we are today, but also to look at what we need to become in the years to ahead.

Rooted in our Group values, Balfour Beatty's Code of Conduct provides all our employees with a clear framework within which to make the right decisions. Our Code of Conduct explains the behavior we expect from all our employees across the Group. However, we accept that rules can only take us so far, so our code also requires employees to think about how to apply these principles and our values and ask, "Is this the right thing to do? Is this what we stand for?"
 
Integrity, Teamwork, Excellence and Respect:  they are a combination of where we are now and where we want to be in the future.

Zero Harm 

Only by setting the highest standards for ourselves will we be able to retain the trust of our customers and the people using our infrastructure. So in October 2008, we committed to achieving ‘Zero Harm.’

For us this means:

• Zero fatalities
• Zero permanently disabling injuries
• Each operating company aims for zero accidents and injuries by 2012 with an absolute ceiling on an Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) of 0.1.

Together we will share our capacity for innovation, creativity and application, to achieve this collective goal. We will only achieve it when each business adopts Zero Harm solutions that work most effectively for them and their people.  View our Balfour Beatty Communities Safety Video.

Sustainability

At Balfour Beatty we believe that sustainability is a collective responsibility. As a Group we want to work together with our customers, suppliers and those communities in which we work to ensure that sustainability is embedded in everything we do.

We believe our commitment to the right types of sustainability initiatives will help us access new markets in the low-carbon and resource-efficient economy of the future, and will drive business growth.
