Ensuring the safety, health and wellbeing of our people
Safety is at the heart of what we do. We hold ourselves to the highest standards to protect our people, partners and places. We continuously work on improving our safety performance with Group-wide initiatives including our annual Safety Stand Down, Safety Summit events and our monthly Safety Stars recognition programme.
We care about our people’s wellbeing and want them to feel their absolute best. This year, using insights from our Global People Survey and in collaboration with colleagues across the organisation, we have worked to enhance our provisions across our four wellbeing pillars (Mental, Physical, Financial, and Social).
Learn more about how we’re ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our people in our Sustainability Report 2025, page 83.
Building a diverse, inclusive and resilient workforce
Our colleagues are the foundation of our success. We’re committed to fostering inclusive, equitable and high-performing culture where every employee can thrive, and our people-first approach to Inclusion and Diversity is championed by the Board and our Executive team.
Our Colleague Led Networks are driving greater equality across the business, helping us to create a welcoming and rewarding place to work where everyone is encouraged to be their true self.
Our networks represent groups from across the business and include Babcock Forces Community, Babcock Carers Network, Babcock Disability Network, Babcock for Multiple Ethnicities, Babcock Multi-Faith Network, Babcock Gender Balance Network, Neurodiversity, and our Pride in Babcock Network.
We acknowledge there is more work to do. Our focus remains on improving gender representation, creating pathways for career progression and building an equitable workplace for all. Gender balance helps us to attract and retain the best talent, with the aim to have at least 30% women in the business by 2030.

We recognise the importance of both supporting and engaging indigenous and historically disadvantaged communities within the countries we work in. Their diversity brings a richness of ideas and perspectives to the business.
