What we do
Building for a
Sustainable World
For nearly 100 years, we have been delivering for communities across the UK, and now, more than ever, it’s important that we do this sustainably.
Our evolved sustainability framework – Building for a Sustainable World focuses on building on the good work that Kier has previously undertaken in environmental protection and creating a lasting positive impact in the communities we work in.
