Sustainability Outcomes

In 1987, the United Nations defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” We have applied that definition in the context of our own Sustainability Policy where we have made a commitment to 'creating lasting benefits through an integrated consideration of social, environmental and economic aspects in all that we do'.

For us, this means meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of future generations by relying on strong support services to ensure our projects, operations and management of the road network are undertaken in a safe, reliable and sustainable way.

The following scorecard provides a snapshot of how well we performed against our Sustainability key area of focus complementing the reporting against our Operational Activities described earlier.
