Business Environment of the Company

Carillion's Strategy Model was enhanced with first-hand experience gained in implementing its own projects. For example, experience from the design and construction of the £100m Great Western Hospital in Swindon. This enabled Carillion to assess how adopting a sustainable approach to the design, construction, maintenance and life time management of the new hospital could result in bottom line profits.

This was alongside less tangible benefits such as energy saving, improved site safety, reduced impact on the natural environment, a green transport plan, and an excellent human environment for patients, staff and visitors. An important business benefit to Carillion of its sustainability approach has been enhanced competitiveness, which has won the company new business. Feedback from customers has revealed that the sustainability aspect of Carillion's project proposals is an important differentiator when other factors such as value for money are equal.

In other words Carillion's approach to CSR through sustainability wins them business and is a real selling point. An added benefit has been that the change in company policy - from being purely reactive on environmental and social issues to being proactive and managing the impact of projects through a sustainability approach - has resulted in reduced risks to bottom line profits and improved the company's reputation among its customers and stakeholders.

This change has also been brought about by the senior management team taking real ownership of the whole issue and understanding the company's impacts and what is being done to address them. Good communication tools have helped this understanding and ensured that the sustainability approach is embedded throughout the company.
