Balfour Beatty sponsors new sustainability award

Listen to this article

This year’s RailStaff Awards will be recognising individuals, teams or businesses that have made a positive environmental, social or financial impact in the name of sustainability.

Sustainability is a key part of the modern rail industry, with environmental performance impacting more and more on purchasing decisions, sourcing materials, waste disposal and water consumption.

This year the Balfour Beatty Sustainability Award will highlight those who have not just talked about sustainability but put their ideas into action.

Balfour Beatty Rail’s managing director, Peter Anderson, said: “We are playing our part to embed sustainability into everything we do, with all employees thinking and acting in a sustainable manner. This helps us make a positive difference to people’s lives and influence the next generation.”

Tom O’Connor, managing director of the Rail Media Group, which is organising the RailStaff Awards, added: “The railway by definition is one of the leading ecological and environmentally responsible modes of transport in the world. Many of us are passionate about helping the industry that supports the railways to become a powerful, responsible and sustaining presence in the communities we serve and the country as a whole. We are delighted to welcome Balfour Beatty Rail, which has a remarkable and pioneering approach to sustainability, to the RailStaff Awards.”
