Sustainability
Our sustainability priorities and 2030 targets
At Babcock, we know that building a sustainable business is about much more than financial success. We also want to help safeguard our planet and support our people and communities.
To ensure we focus on issues where we can make the greatest difference, within our sustainability strategy we have identified six priorities. These priorities guide the action of our business from individual sites to the group as a whole.
We have dedicated colleagues across Babcock, working to build a more sustainable business and meet local needs. In addition to this we have identified six group wide targets for 2030.
