Responsibility

Responsibility built in from the start

Responsibility is part of how we work: safely, sustainably, inclusively and with integrity, for ourselves and everyone who works with us.

Our commitments

What we never trade away

Each is backed by a standard, a named owner and a way for anyone to tell us when we fall short.

  • Safety

    Our aim is that everyone on our sites goes home safe, and that our buildings are designed to be safe to live in.

  • Sustainability

    Buildings that use less, last longer and respect the places and people around them.

  • Ethics and integrity

    We obey the law as a minimum, refuse bribery in every form and deal fairly with everyone.

  • Inclusion

    Equal opportunity for everyone, and places that people of every age and ability can use.

How we hold ourselves to account

Accountable, measurable and open to challenge

  • Named owners

    A designated partner is accountable for each responsibility.

  • Recorded and reviewed

    Incidents, near misses and lessons are recorded and reviewed, and they change how we work.

  • Shared with partners

    Our Partner Code of Conduct applies the same expectations to everyone who works with us.

  • Open to challenge

    Anyone can report a concern in confidence, without fear of retaliation.

Codes and policies

Our codes and policies, in one place

Each document says what we commit to and who is accountable for it. We review them at least once a year.
