Leading construction and international integrated support services business, Carillion, has received the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise, recognising its contribution to sustainable development.
Carillion was announced as one of 176 award winners, just one of 11 recipients in the sustainable development category, back in April. Lord-Lieutenant of the West Midlands, John Crabtree, officially presented the award to Carillion at the Midlands Metropolitan Hospital, which is currently being constructed in Smethwick.
2017 marks the 51st anniversary of the scheme, with recipients of the prestigious business award having to demonstrate outstanding results in their respective fields of innovation, international trade or sustainable development.
Awardees can use the esteemed Queen’s Awards emblem for the next five years.
The presentation of the award is in recognition of Carillion’s commitment to balancing environmental, economic and social impacts, plus evidence of sector-leadership through its Sustainability 2020 strategy.
Detailed analysis of Carillion’s business shows a strong commercial case for sustainability, integrated with its core strategy, and a contribution to profitability through sustainable behaviours and actions.
Carillion Chief Safety and Sustainability Officer David Picton said: “Whilst it’s a great honour to have won the Queen’s Award, it’s exceptional to have won it for sustainability. Carillion people have built up a long legacy of accredited evidence to show their commitment to responsible business, building trust and ethics, protecting the environment and changing lives through inspiring community engagements. Our clients ask us for this across our international operations, and they expect to work with a company which differentiates itself this way in tough and competitive markets. Investing in sustainability does matter, it does make a difference and this award recognises the long-term business benefits for that commitment from our people.”
