Corporate social responsibility

CSR and Sustainability at Boskalis Westminster are at the core of our business practices. Through local and project initiatives and pro-active engagement we aim to innovate and create added social, environmental and economic value in the communities where we work.

Our approach to CSR and Sustainability is aligned with our corporate business strategy and themed around four focus areas:

  • Impact on local communities
  • Impact on the environment
  • Care for our people
  • Business conduct

We have used these pillars to develop a strategy that has a positive impact on our employees, the communities around us, the environment and local stakeholders.

CSR Strategy

Our CSR strategy closely considers the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and uses them as a compass to define key focus areas. Focussing on key SDGs, we have been able to implement our own local targets keeping us in-line with the wider Boskalis Group strategy and themes within the SDGs.
