Being better – together
We know we achieve more when we work together – cutting costs, reducing carbon, improving safety and delivering efficiently.
This starts with bringing our customers, partners, supply chain and community together, with a shared vision and drive for delivering agreed outcomes. We are committed to encouraging new ideas and diversity of thinking. One of the ways we do this is by creating inclusive work environments where everyone can be themselves and make an impact every day.
Delivering publicly funded projects brings great responsibility – we take care of every pound that’s spent. What we deliver impacts society for generations too, so we are constantly trialling and developing industry leading materials and methods that reduce carbon and improve biodiversity. This includes through our bespoke Geographic Information Systems (GIS) solutions that are playing a crucial role in how we deliver projects, helping us to work more collaboratively, productively and safely.
Caring about communities
The delivery of major infrastructure is a perfect platform for creating much wider benefits to local people, economies and communities.
This begins with providing opportunity and added value in the neighbourhoods around our projects. Through our social value programmes, our site teams become part of the community and support projects based on the needs of local people. Activities range from creating excitement in local schools and colleges around STEM subjects and construction careers, to creating new public gardens or championing local causes.
Our education, training and employment programmes have already helped hundreds of previously vulnerable or unemployed people to find rewarding careers in construction – helping to improve their life chances.
What every Skanska project and social value initiative shares is our determination to leave a positive and lasting legacy.
Our National Highways projects
Projects in main construction include the A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet and M42 junction 6 improvement schemes. We are also delivering early works at A46 Newark Bypass, A47 Thickthorn Junction and the Kent Roads section of the Lower Thames Crossing.
