‘Some experts assess the rate at which species are becoming extinct at 1,000 to 10,000 times higher than the natural rate would be’
Quotation taken from Securing the Future –The UK Government Sustainable Development Strategy.
Conserving, enhancing and managing the natural environment is one of the four priorities identified in the UK Government’s Sustainable Development Strategy as requiring immediate attention.
At Carillion we recognise this need to protect resources, flora and fauna and appreciate the benefits to be gained from enhancing our environment.
We believe that to make a difference we must all do our bit. Our Sustainability Policy was reviewed in 2005 following the publication of Securing the Future and we have defined our aspirations and key impacts in alignment with the new UK strategy:
Natural Resource Protection and Environmental Enhancement:
“We will responsibly manage our impact on the environment through the prudent use of natural resources, minimising waste and by protecting and enhancing the environment in which we work and live”.
Our key impact areas in this priority area:
• Environmental Impacts
• Biodiversity
• Supply Chain
• Resource Use
