Kier\u2019s \u2018Building For A Sustainable World\u2019 framework sets a direction of travel for the whole group and encompasses environmental sustainability and social sustainability<\/h2>\n

Across these two sections, Kier has established ten pillars of action, to address the most pressing areas of environmental and social concern<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kier\u2019s ten pillars focus on where it can have the greatest impact through operations.<\/p>\n

Sustainability has two key components: environmental responsibility and social responsibility (also known as Corporate Responsibility or CR).<\/p>\n

To operate a sustainable business, Kier is encouraging employees to adopt this mindset and carry out their day-to-day operations in a way which keeps the three critical features: environment, community, and profitability, in balance.<\/p>\n

Kier has set sustainability targets to include achieving net-zero carbon<\/a> across our own operations and supply chain by 2045, eliminating avoidable waste by 2035 and becoming single-use plastic-free by 2030.<\/p>\n

To ensure good governance, Kier has established a number of cross-functional Sustainability Leadership Forums, led by members of its senior leadership team.<\/p>\n

The purpose of applying a commercial lens is to ensure that sustainable action<\/a> within Kier is driven through our core business decisions.<\/p>\n

Natural systems and renewable resource<\/h3>\n

\"BuildingAndrew Davies, chief executive, said: \u201cBuilding for a Sustainable World concentrates on two key components: environmental sustainability and social sustainability.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt outlines that we are committed to preventing environmental and social harm, replenishing our natural systems and renewable resources and having a positive impact on the communities and environments in which we operate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe framework is about setting realistic goals and targets and putting clear plans in place to achieve them.<\/p>\n

“It aligns with our strategic plan and culture of Performance Excellence, by introducing a consistent approach to sustainability across the group.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing sustainable is more important than it\u2019s ever been, and to have a sustainable business is to have a resilient, purpose-driven business.\u201d<\/p>\n

The full framework can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
