“Creating Sustainable Communities means putting sustainable development into practice. Sustainable Communities must combine inclusion, homes, jobs, services, infrastructure and respect for the environment to create places were people want to live and work now and in the future”.
Quote by John Prescott, Deputy Prime Minister, taken from Securing the Future –The UK Government Sustainable Development Strategy.
We are committed to creating Sustainable Communities everywhere we work. This commitment is demonstrated through our Sustainability Policy, which describes what Sustainable Communities means to us at Carillion.
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:
Sustainable Communities:
“We will be good neighbours who engage with, work with, and support our local communities. We will create an excellent workplace where our people are respected, motivated and competent, and drive excellence in Health and Safety”.
Our key impact areas in this priority area:
• Health & Safety
• Our People
• Community

To achieve this vision of Sustainable Communities will require the involvement and commitment of all our business groups and all our people. We support our people through a number of initiatives and encourage our people to get involved wherever they can with their local communities and local environment.
