How material issues were established
G4-Process for defining report content G4-Material issues identified G4-Key topics raised by stakeholders
During 2013, we undertook a comprehensive stakeholder consultation exercise in conjunction with external specialists
IMS Consulting, with the aim of establishing a list of material issues to help shape our sustainability reporting.
Over 2,000 individuals were invited to participate in an online consultation, split evenly between internal (employees)
and external stakeholders (clients, suppliers and others). Each was asked to assess the importance of relevant
sustainability issues, in terms of how we conduct our business. The shortlist of sustainability issues relevant to the UK
construction sector was compiled based on our roadmap, ongoing stakeholder feedback, industry-wide issues and
third party guidance.
Responses were received from 724 individuals, and subsequent analysis revealed no significant differences between
the view of internal and external stakeholders. The results of this process were used as the basis for drawing up a list
of issues that are currently material to, and reported by, the Group.
The list was reviewed in 2014 and consolidated to six Total Commitments and 12 material issues.
Step 1 Identification
Step 2 Prioritisation
Step 3 Validation
32 issues were identified that are
potentially relevant for a large UK
construction company:
The views of 700 stakeholders were
gathered through an online
consultation including:

Over 80% of our total spend is through our
supply chain. It is manufacturer based,
providing a solid foundation to all our
projects and encompassing a portfolio of
over 200 framework agreements which
cover all major materials sectors through
to logistics. Our supply chain family was
established to ensure a behavioural
change to develop long-lasting
relationships with shared benefits. The
concept is increasingly being utilised
across the Group with project and clients
opting to utilise these relationships on
over 72% of external purchases by value

A local multiplier
methodology is being
trialled for selected
projects. For example,
on a recent £1.3
million Midlandsbased project, the
project contributed an
estimated £2.05 local

every £1 project
spend, and 81% of the
supplier spend was
‘local’.
