Enabling low-carbon economies
We continually aim to be ever

will revisit our material issues in
2016, reviewing their significance
against global trends such as skill
shortages, diversity, engagement
and collective agreements such
as the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals.
Our people and our partnerships
continue to build a better business,
connect a better society and create
a better environment. For Carillion,
sustainability is key to how we
shape our competitive future

Trust in business, regional growth and support for local
suppliers are becoming key enablers for sustainable
economic recovery and regional regeneration.
The built environment sectors face key skills
shortages and a decline in young people with science,
technology, engineering and maths (STEM) skills.
2015 marked a step-change which called for collective
action from businesses, governments and consumers
to create a low-carbon environment.
BUSINESS
Across the UAE, we are co-creating innovative
solutions with customers and working to uphold the
human rights of all workers. Acting sustainably is
proving that we can build trust and gain recognition
as a responsible business.
SOCIETY
We continue to be inspired by the commitment of our people
to give something back to their communities. For example, 58
employees volunteered for 290 hours for Operation Smile,
an organisation that provides lifesaving surgery to children.

ENVIRONMENT
PVC PLYWOOD IS A
WIN-WIN FOR
CUSTOMERS
LESS WASTE, MORE
BIODIVERSITY
In Dubai, we’ve trialled the use
of PVC plywood with promising
results. Made from recycled plastics,
it can be reused up to 20 times
(compared to six to eight times
for traditional plywood) and its
high quality finish reduces the
need for reworking surfaces.
We are keeping waste down on the Fort
Island project with around 4,000m3 of
sludge from the existing lake bed being
used to backfill the area. Approximately
500m3 of waste blocks were reused for
temporary roads, while a membrane
dam-pumping system saved around
25,000 litres of diesel. Employees
captured the aquatic species; including
jellyfish and turtles, and released them
downstream without any loss of life.
The trial shows that PVC plywood
saves on average 15886.48 Dirhams
(AED) per 100 sheets, so Al Futtaim
Carillion is now extending the use
of this sustainable material to
other projects.

THE BOX APPEAL
AWARD FOR RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS
In 2015, the Dubai Chamber awarded its Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) Label to Al Futtaim Carillion. This voluntary standard recognises a
structured approach to responsible business, based on international best
practices implemented in the Middle East.
AFC has contributed more than
200 boxes with everyday
toiletries for underprivileged
people as part of The Box
Appeal Campaign. The boxes
were donated to the organising
hotel Radisson Blu in Dubai.
Our operational teams have worked closely with local
authorities and utility companies to connect our project
sites to mains power and reduce reliance on generators.
Where generators are unavoidable, we reduce their fuel
consumption by using synchronisation technology to
manage load sharing and demand. With fuel usage
monitoring, we cut unnecessary idle time during day
shifts and optimise operating characteristics.
“On so many occasions during
our fund-raising and awareness
events, AFC were there to lend
a hand or provide some much
needed assistance – whether it
was strength, funds or expertise.”
MORAG CROMEY-HAWKE, Executive
Director, Operation Smile, UAE
