Business in the Community’s annual benchmark, the Corporate Responsibility Index, ranks BAM as a Platinum company.
Congratulating BAM, Stephen Howard, Chief Executive, Business in the Community said: "BAM is graded as a Platinum company which means it integrates corporate responsibility into its business model and has clear CR responsibilities and incentive structures at board and operational levels. Platinum companies have a structured approach to data collection and social and environmental impact assessment and can demonstrate a number of years of CR performance improvement across key impacts, high level of transparency and stakeholder engagement."

Within the last few weeks BAM has also been ranked the highest placed contractor by the 'UK's Best Companies to Work For', and the leader of the carbon reduction table for all organisations within the UK by the Environment Agency.
Graham Cash, BAM's Chief Executive, said: "Construction and property companies have a big impact on the people around us and on the environment so we have a duty of care towards both and need to show great consideration in how we conduct ourselves.
"How we relate to the communities around us has always mattered greatly to us alongside the ambitious, high-quality and sustainable buildings that we create and manage.
"The CR Index, our carbon reduction performance, and our Best Companies status show that we are acting responsibly and placing a great emphasis on doing so. It places us at the front of the construction sector."
