Part of our strategy for sustainable growth is to upskill our people to understand how their roles contribute to Kier’s sustainability journey.
In a recent survey, 92% of our people were aware of the impact their role has on the environment and communities. We aim to provide knowledge and skills, and foster sustainability mindsets, both at work and at home, to support informed and effective decision making for a sustainable future. This is part of our commitment to prioritise our people.
In the spirit of this commitment, and as part of our online and in-person sustainability literacy programme, our Natural Resources, Nuclear & Networks division have developed Sustainucation®, a programme designed to educate, engage, empower and drive ownership of sustainability in our teams. In May 2024, Natural Resources, Nuclear & Networks brought together 84 divisional leaders in the inaugural Sustainucation® event, an opportunity to engage in, commit to and learn about Kier’s sustainability journey, as well as that of individuals in the team. Natural Resources, Nuclear & Networks reflected on positive changes and steps that can be taken in our professional and personal lives, from procurement practices to supermarket choices, diverse and inclusive recruitment to volunteering in our communities, from Kier’s carbon reduction goals to understanding our personal carbon footprint.
By maturing sustainability literacy across our business, we aim to nurture innovation to support our sustainability goals and our journey of sustainable growth. The programme continues.
