Our ability to perform strongly in the current economic climate reflects our consistent and successful strategy for sustainable profitable growth.
Our strategy is to:
- > grow support services and Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects organically and by acquisition
- > develop and market integrated solutions tailored to the needs of customers, including project finance, design and construction, maintenance and lifetime asset management
- > maintain a strong and selective construction capability focused on higher added value contracts for long-term customers, especially the delivery of PPP projects and integrated solutions for support service customers.
Our strategy is supported by a commitment to living our core values of openness, collaboration, mutual dependency, professional delivery, sustainable profitable growth and innovation in everything we do. By implementing our strategy, achieving our objectives and living our values, we create value for our shareholders and benefits for employees and society in general. That is how we achieve our vision of ‘making tomorrow a better place’.
We monitor the implementation of our strategy using key performance indicators, which in 2009 included being the recognised industry leader in the delivery of safety and sustainability. Our performance in Business in the Community’s 2009 Corporate Responsibility Index indicates that we achieved that goal. The Index ranks companies’ sustainability performance, and Carillion’s score of 96.5%, which won us Platinum status, was higher than any other company in the support services sector.
The current sustainability strategy focuses on achieving excellence against our internal sustainability excellence model by the end of 2010. We are currently working with Forum for the Future to develop our new future strategy which will focus on our long-term commitments until 2020.
