BAM International takes its corporate social responsibilities (CSR) seriously; its comprehensive CSR policy is applied throughout its worldwide operations. The basis of this policy is that we conduct our business in such a way that our values and behaviour are aligned to the expectations and needs of our stakeholders and society. Local legislation requirements are the absolute minimum standard for our operations.

Central to the implementation of the policy are:

• Ethical behaviour
• Transparency
• Good communications
• Care of employees
• Care of health and safety
• Attention to training and development
• Attention to community relations
• Care of the environment
• Sustainable development

The policy is put into effect on our projects through the project plans. These plans not only take account of our corporate social undertakings, but also include any additional requirements specific to the project. The implementation of the policy both at Head Office and on the projects is periodically checked by audit and review.

Ongoing awareness amongst our employees is maintained through regular presentations and discussions. These and the audits help to ensure that the obligations of our policy are kept at the forefront and that its concepts are understood by everyone. The goal is to embed CSR fully into all aspects of the company’s culture.
