Case Study: Balfour Beatty improves environmental reporting and saves time with Qflow

Balfour Beatty achieves 99% responsible sourcing with Qflow

Balfour Beatty, one of the UK's largest infrastructure firms, faced the challenge of meeting complex environmental reporting requirements for the Thames Estuary 2100 framework. Manual data processes were inefficient and error-prone, creating a significant administrative burden for their teams. They sought a digital solution from vendor Qflow to automate data capture and manage sustainability metrics without disrupting their fast-paced, live project environment.

By implementing Qflow, Balfour Beatty automated the collection and processing of key environmental data in real time. The solution provided reliable, auditable insights that integrated seamlessly into existing workflows. This resulted in environmental performance well above target, including 99% of materials meeting responsible sourcing criteria against a 20-30% goal. Qflow saved significant time, improved data confidence, and enabled smarter decision-making, leading to a wider rollout across the company's projects.
