Case Study 1
The road to better
We have excellent examples of social value in all our operating businesses
and we are particularly proud of what Milestone Infrastructure has achieved.
Part of our Transport Division, Milestone is providing social value best practice on a
targeted range of areas. In common with many of our businesses, Milestone has established
programmes to recruit those experiencing barriers to entering the workplace, such as exoffenders and those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). They also work
hard to include and implement the best ideas of their supply chain, having brought together
a wide range of regional and national experts to showcase and demonstrate concepts to
reduce the environmental and carbon impact of maintaining and building the UK’s highways.
Milestone Infrastructure’s social value initiatives are supported through the four pillars
of their social value strategy: Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Local Economic Prosperity,
Environmental Sustainability and Target Community Integration.
Milestone is recording its social value contributions
through industry-recognised toolkits to calculate
the social impact that they are creating. In
the coming months, we are going to be
working with Milestone’s experts to help
introduce these reporting metrics into
other businesses across our Group,
starting with other companies in our
Transport Division, enabling them
to access a consistent framework
through which to record the impact
of their social value activities.
