organisations, which in turn bring value to the wider population.

Sustainability is business critical for Carillion as we continue

more work, protect the environment and create long term
benefit for the areas where we live and work.

ENVIRONMENT
A healthy environment helps communities and business to thrive.
Working with our customers and suppliers, were cutting carbon,
eliminating waste and protecting natural resources.

WHAT NEXT?

Audit the effectiveness of our carbon reduction plans and

tackle embodied carbon across the built environment. Refresh
our Waste Strategy and seek ever more progressive ways to
design waste out of our processes and reduce waste overall.

DAME JULIA CLEVERDON, BITC

We continually aim to be ever

more responsible as market
forces, stakeholder needs and
self-expectations evolve. We
will revisit our material issues in
2016, reviewing their significance
against global trends such as skill
shortages, diversity, engagement
and collective agreements such
as the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals.
Our people and our partnerships
continue to build a better business,
connect a better society and create
a better environment. For Carillion,
sustainability is key to how we
shape our competitive future
and a better tomorrow.

Trust in business, regional growth and support for local suppliers

are becoming key enablers for sustainable economic recovery and
regional regeneration.

The built environment sectors face key skills shortages and a

decline in young people studying science, technology, engineering
and maths (STEM) skills.

We spend 3.4 billion with more than 7,200 companies in

our supply chain, we provide an Early Payment Facility for
suppliers and we won the Building Public Trust Award (PwC)
for Sustainability Reporting for an unprecedented third
consecutive year.

We are the lead corporate partner in our sector for Your Life,
a government-backed campaign to encourage young
people to study STEM subjects, and we supported nearly
45,000 children by volunteering over 8,000 hours of our
time in schools.

2015 marked a step-change which called for collective action

from businesses, governments and consumers to create a
low-carbon environment.

Achieving a score of 98A, Carillion was independently

benchmarked on the Carbon Disclosure Projects (CDP)
Climate A List for the second year running. We're cutting
carbon emissions, rethinking waste and preserving resources
for future generations.
