OUR COMMITMENTS
BTTC is committed to operating with corporate and social responsibility at the heart of what we do.
We have defined corporate and social responsibility as:
“Voluntary measures strategically undertaken to reassure our employees, our customers, and the wider community that we can be trusted. They are measures which look after social and environmental interests without regulatory intervention.”
We were founded on the principle that our industry can deliver projects ‘better through total collaboration’. We are committed to the local communities we serve in our locations around the globe, and we are proud of the difference we can make to these communities through our work on projects.
Our approach to corporate and social responsibility is built on four pillars: environmental responsibility, ethical approach, delivering social value, and equality, diversity and inclusion.
OUR PILLARS:
Social value:
Our people make individual contributions that add value to the communities we serve through applying their professional expertise.
We define social value as the ways in which we collaborate with the communities we serve to bring positive change to society, the economy and the environment. By positively contributing to social value initiatives, we have the potential to make massive impacts to the communities we serve.
Equality, diversity and inclusion:
We value, respect and care for our people who are proud ambassadors for our business and for the communities they serve.
We are committed to assuring that our inclusive teams reflect the communities we work within at all levels of our organisation and that they are treated equally.
Ethical approach:
We conduct business with integrity and respect.
By being a responsible and ethical company, we increase the trust that our employees, our customers and the communities we serve place in us.
Environmental responsibility:
We are committed to the future of our planet.
We will be carbon neutral by 2025, have Net Zero carbon emissions before 2050 and work only in markets which contribute to social value or carbon reduction.
ACTION THROUGH COLLABORATION
OUR EMPLOYEES
Engaging with our employees to define our strategy and how we deliver it is key to us ensuring that we target our corporate and social responsibility initiatives to have maximum impact.
We engage with our employees to promote opportunities to support the delivery of our commitments and to educate on the benefits of corporate and social responsibility.
OUR CUSTOMERS
Many of our customers, both current and future, have corporate and social responsibility goals of their own.
We collaborate with them to understand the challenges they face, to achieve mutual goals and to identify opportunities for continuous improvement in the field of corporate and social responsibility.
OUR COMMUNITIES
We engage with the communities we serve through industry forums and working groups to ensure we target our initiatives and efforts in areas most needed with the highest impact.
COMMITMENT TO INDIGENOUS RELATIONS
We are committed to respectfully working with the Indigenous peoples of Canada, promoting employment and business opportunities, educating our employees and ensuring that our workplace is a proactive and welcoming environment for indigenous peoples.
We have embraced the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s call to action #92 to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as a reconciliation framework and have integrated it into our strategic goals. We are proud to show our dedication to building bridges with Indigenous communities is demonstrated through our participation in the Partnership Accreditation in Indigenous Relations (PAIR) program. PAIR’s certification program provides a high level of assurance to communities because the designation is supported by independent and third-party verification of company reports.
We have developed and adopted an Indigenous relations policy and strategy, to support the delivery of this reconciliation framework, and to provide measurable outcomes and initiatives in four performance areas: Leadership Actions, Employment, Business Development, and Community Relations (Engagement and Support).
PAIR Committed participation indicates our commitment to continual improvement in Indigenous relations and intention to undergo external verification of our performance in the future.
