We aim to maintain
Carillion’s position as a leader in the construction
to services sector and use sustainable development principles
to deliver enhanced shareholder value.

continues to grow and become fully embedded into our business
culture there is a need to identify the true business case
for sustainability.

of £1.9Bn, spent approximately 85% of our turnover on purchasing

impact on many different communities.

where we can influence our Economic Growth and Prosperity
in regard to sustainable development are:
