Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
We want to create connected, sustainable infrastructure which helps people and our planet to thrive. As an industry, we’re facing ESG opportunities and challenges and we need to be equipped and accountable for delivering our ESG goals.
Our three ambitions are:
- Environment: Safeguard our planet’s future.
- Social: Create a positive legacy for our people and communities.
- Governance: Deliver strong, sustainable financial and ethical performance for our stakeholders.
Underpinning these ambitions are nine ESG priorities. Our ESG programme builds momentum year-on-year to help embed and deliver sustainable business principles.
We report on our progress annually, click here to access our latest ESG reports.
