Case Study: Balfour Beatty achieves more mature sustainable procurement with Action Sustainability’s ISO 20400 assessment

Balfour Beatty Re-evaluates Procurement Approach to Enhance Sustainability with ISO 20400 Assessment

Balfour Beatty, a major construction company, wanted to reassess its procurement approach against the ISO 20400 standard to measure its sustainability progress since its first evaluation in 2017. They engaged the vendor Action Sustainability to conduct this re-evaluation.

Action Sustainability deployed its assessment methodology, reviewing Balfour Beatty's policies and interviewing key staff remotely. This revealed a 30% improvement, moving their procurement to a 'mature' status. The results provided Balfour Beatty with an updated action plan from Action Sustainability to further embed sustainability into its supply chain, contributing directly to its goals of reducing carbon emissions and waste.
