Balfour Beatty is an international infrastructure group founded in 1909 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

It is part of the FTSE 250 Index, and has operations across the UK, US and Hong Kong. In 2021, Balfour Beatty was ranked as the largest construction contractor in the UK.
Summary
Balfour Beatty discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company discloses the performance criteria included in senior executives’ renumeration policies that are aligned with its sustainability targets and objectives. It also discloses time-bound targets to reduce waste generation and reports its scope 3 emissions reduction targets.
Regardless, there are areas where Balfour Beatty can improve its performance. While the company reports on the geographic distribution of employees, it is unclear whether it discloses details on the proportion of employees hired locally. In addition to this, the company can improve reporting on the health and safety of its employees by including details on international joint venture projects. Balfour Beatty also has an opportunity to strengthen its policy commitments to fundamental human and labour rights.
Balfour Beatty’s reporting of regular noise monitoring during its activities and air quality parameters is also limited. In addition, the company provides limited information on natural disaster risk assessments. Addressing these gaps will enable the company to strengthen its sustainability practices and align more closely with industry standards.
