Our People

Our Vision and Mission

Vision

To provide the world’s best construction and real estate services for our clients, and in doing so enable a more sustainable future and a better way of life for the communities in the built environments we help create.

Mission

We are pioneers in the construction and real estate development sectors, using cutting edge technology to create real social value and protect the environment.

Our Commitments

Overview

Sustainability is one of the core principles of our business. Who we are, how we operate and who we choose to partner with, are all guided by our commitment to managing climate change and leaving behind a viable planet for generations to come.

As a construction and real estate business, we recognise the impact our industry has had on the natural world. The built environment accounts for 40% of global carbon emissions and rapid urban development has led to decreased biodiversity and increased habitat loss. We are taking bold and decisive action, leveraging disruptive technologies, smart construction solutions and innovative design and engineering methods to deliver sustainable and resilient spaces, infrastructure and communities.

As an industry leader in the Middle East and North Africa, it is our ethical and social responsibility to drive decarbonisation efforts in the region. Our exceptional and dedicated team of people is continuously innovating and actively seeks out supply chain partners that share our values and prioritise the welfare of our planet. We also establish digital alliances to deploy technologies that enable us to build more sustainable assets.

Environmental

In the UAE we are working towards achieving net zero by 2050 in line with the government’s commitment, playing an important role in the country’s transition to a low-carbon economy. We have set ambitious targets for ourselves in the areas of carbon reduction, waste reduction and sustainable procurement. To achieve this, we partner with certified and reputable consultants, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers to help build a sustainable and transparent supply chain. As a result, a large number of our completed projects are LEED certified and ESTIDAMA accredited.

In Canada we work with local contractors and suppliers to develop sustainable and durable residential properties, building more energy-efficient structures, partnering with geothermal energy contractors and adopting less resource-intensive building methods.

Through our work with export credit agencies we partner with ESG specialists and HSE auditors to monitor and report on our carbon emissions, resource consumption, and health and safety performance across the infrastructure projects we organise and manage . We adhere to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) sustainable lending recommendations, the International Finance Corporation’s sustainability framework and the Equator Principles.


Social

We are a purpose-driven business determined to serve the communities we operate in, deliver long-lasting and transformative social value, and improve the lives of those we work with.

For example, our capital projects and project management teams are reshaping the lives of people in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, delivering infrastructure projects, including large-scale road works, hospitals and factories, that will drastically improve the quality of life for local communities and create thousands of job opportunities.

The physical and mental wellbeing of our people, partners and stakeholders is of the utmost importance to us. We have an exemplary health and safety record, having won numerous awards and accolades for our worker welfare programmes. We are ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified and proud members of the British Safety Council.


Governance

We are developing a robust environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy in alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve this, we have partnered with a leading consultant to develop an holistic, sustainable business framework with a focus on lowering carbon emissions, measuring and increasing positive social impact, optimising health and safety conditions, and establishing strong auditing and reporting systems.


Applying smart technology to improve delivery

We are constantly on the look out for new, smart tech that not only makes clients’ projects faster and more efficient, but also enables more sustainable and cost-effective building methods.

Some of the smart tech we currently use includes:

BIM models that enable us to digitally manage project data, improve coordination and communication, mitigate risk and reduce cost.

Digital twin - digital replicas of physical entities – that enable us to correct design errors and prevent operational and safety risks.

IoT and connected sensors to remotely monitor sites and project performance, including wearable sensors that can capture real-time data on operating conditions, productivity levels and the health and safety of workers.

AI-powered project monitoring and computer visualisations, which enable us to predict and prevent operational, environmental and safety issues. AI also enables us to better monitor inventory from point of origin to delivery.
