Carillion has adopted six core values to help everyone in the business play their part in delivering our strategy.

The values were created after a series of workshops involving senior managers and have now been adopted by Carillion’s main board executives. The values were communicated through a series of briefings in each of the businesses.

The values are;

Openness

Openness is about establishing trust, integrity and transparency within Carillion and with its customers and suppliers. It includes listening to concerns, ideas and issues and being willing to bring problems and difficulties into the open at an early stage. It also emphasises sharing good news and communicating about potential opportunities.

Collaboration

Collaboration means working together to deliver the best possible solution for all concerned. This involves using, sharing and respecting the different skills, knowledge and experience of everyone involved.

Mutual Dependency

Mutual Dependency is about working with customers, suppliers and colleagues in such a way that both risks and rewards are shared and long-term sustainability is assured. It is about recognising that success can be achieved only if all parties work closely together, understand each other’s objectives and seek to gain the best for all.

Professional Delivery

Professionally delivery emphasises the need to deliver work in a professional manner, ensuring that targets are met, profit is made and quality, safety and environmental standards are maintained.

Focus on Sustainable, Profitable Growth

Sustainable growth in profits and cashflow is developed by judging when to focus on today’s objectives and when, and how, to invest for the future. It is about enhancing the long-term profitability of Carillion through developing long-term relationships, keeping an eye on developments in the market place, acting with the whole group in mind and creating a fast and flexible approach to the ever-changing business environment.

Innovation

Innovation is the constant search for fresh or novel approaches and improvements to every aspect of running the business. This includes strategies, products, services and ways of working that enable Carillion, its customers and its suppliers to create competitive advantage. Innovation comes from sharing knowledge, focusing on continuous improvement and learning from others.
