As stewards of important social infrastructure investments, many stakeholders are impacted by our actions: users, local communities, our employees, investors, public sector clients, subcontractors, the environment, and society at large. We take this responsibility seriously.

Stakeholder engagement

Our stakeholders increasingly expect us to consider and act on a range of sustainability issues. We are guided by our values of good governance, and our responsible mindset drives what we do both at the corporate and Portfolio Company level. We expect all our employees to keep these guiding principles in mind when engaging with our stakeholders.

As a member of the AIC, BBGI acknowledges Provision 5 of the AIC Code’s expectation for all members to comply with the continuing requirement under Section 172(1) CA2006 for boards to take stakeholder interests into account, and to report how they have done so when performing their duties. Details of how we adopt the spirit of those provisions and consider our stakeholders are outlined here :

Materiality assessment

We use the outcome of our double-materiality assessment as a strategic tool, helping us identify significant impacts of our corporate and investment activities on the economy, environment and society through a holistic approach.

In 2021, we conducted a comprehensive double-materiality assessment to identify the most significant impacts our operations and portfolio can have on the economy, environment or society and that are priorities for our stakeholders (‘inside-out’ impact materiality), as well as the impact that society and the environment could have on the organisation (‘outside-in’ financial materiality). Our stakeholder engagement process adhered to best practices standards such the AA100 Stakeholder Engagement Standard and the Global Reporting Initiative (‘GRI’).
