Kier wins Platinum Big Tick for its corporate responsibility

 

Kier Group has been recognised with the highest ranking in Business in the Community’s Corporate Responsibility (CR) Index, which is produced annually to benchmark responsible business management.

The move has seen the company rise from Gold status in 2012 and leapfrog Platinum to go straight to Platinum Big Tick.

The Platinum Big Tick is a new banding in the Index for 2013; it is designed to challenge leading companies with ‘stretch questions’ on topics such as their long-term planning and the unique contribution their business can make to create transformational change and a sustainable economy.

Achieving Platinum Big Tick means Kier can demonstrate that it is thinking about how global mega trends, such as population growth and resource scarcity, are affecting the future strategy of the business. The banding is an indication that Kier is making long-term investments to improve or launch new environmentally and socially sound products and services, and is embedding responsible values throughout the workforce.

Kier Group chief executive Paul Sheffield commented:

“We are delighted to have achieved Platinum Big Tick status. We do not underestimate the value that CR brings to Kier and shall continue in our bid to further improve, steer change and encourage others to do likewise.”

As a result of its high score in the Platinum Big Tick band, Kier is now one of five companies to be short-listed in the Responsible Business of the Year category in Business in the Community’s prestigious Responsible Business Awards. The winners will be announced at an awards gala dinner event in July.
