Better Health for All

Galliford Try demonstrates a strong commitment to improving health outcomes through its construction projects. The company has built significant healthcare infrastructure, including the £30m Worthing Integrated Care Centre (WICC) offering community, dentistry, mental health, GP, and pharmacy services

, and the £12.2 million Edenbridge Memorial Health Centre consolidating various health services . It also constructed the 100-place Marjorie McClure Special Needs and Disability School for students with physical, medical, and learning difficulties , directly addressing vulnerable populations. The company is extensively involved in mental health initiatives, having built the £35m Silverwood inpatient unit (64 en-suite bedrooms) and refurbished the £11m Stonebow Unit (39 single en-suite bedrooms) for adult, older adult, and dementia patients, with designs co-created with service users and prioritizing staff welfare . These facilities incorporate preventative measures like dentistry and social prescribing . Conversely, the company faces a significant negative health impact from alleged fire safety issues at the Rope Quays residential development (completed 2006-2008 by an acquired company) . These defects are claimed to pose a "real and imminent danger to the occupiers," leading to a £4.8m remediation lawsuit . This represents a notable user safety incident and a significant negative health externality, though Galliford Try denies liability .

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Galliford Try Holdings PLC is a construction group and does not operate as a financial institution. The company does not offer lending, deposit, or other consumer financial services. Therefore, all KPIs related to financial products, customer financial data, lending practices, and financial literacy initiatives are not applicable to its core business model. While the company engages in community initiatives like supporting unemployed youth

, building affordable homes , and developing its supply chain , these do not constitute financial inclusion lending or direct financial services to consumers. The rubric's '0' tier is applied to each KPI, indicating that the company's operations fall outside the scope of financial services evaluated by this value.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Galliford Try reported an Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) of 0.03

and a Lost Time Frequency Rate (LTFR) of 0.09 in 2025. The company's overall employee engagement score was 75% in 2025. No prohibition or improvement notices were received in FY23, and no other specific labor violations were reported for 2024 or 2025. However, the median gender pay gap was 27.7% in 2025, indicating women earned 72.3% of men's median pay. The employee churn rate was 17.5% in 2019.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Galliford Try lacks specific fair trade and ethical sourcing certifications, indicating 0% of tier-1 spend is certified.

The company did not carry out any social audits during the period of 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021. Furthermore, its policies do not include providing access to remedy, compensation, and justice for victims of modern slavery. However, Galliford Try has not identified any human rights issues, forced, or child labour incidents within its operations or supply chain as of its latest reports, and maintains a Modern Slavery Working Group and a Code of Conduct with proactive risk assessment procedures.

Honest & Fair Business

Galliford Try maintains a comprehensive anti-corruption policy with a zero-tolerance approach to bribery, corruption, fraud, and the facilitation of tax evasion, explicitly prohibiting facilitation payments.

All employees must complete online training on the Bribery Act every three years, and induction training covers Corporate Criminal Offences. Management is required to sign declarations twice a year confirming team awareness and compliance with policies, and the company conducts due diligence for third parties. The company maintains an independent and confidential whistleblowing procedure, including a dedicated Safecall hotline, which encourages anonymous reporting by employees and third parties. The company is committed to ensuring no detrimental treatment for individuals reporting concerns in good faith. In the past five years, the company recorded one non-cash technical restatement for 2024. This was due to a correction in the application of IFRS15 contract combination accounting, which reduced revenue and increased cost of sales in 2024, with an aggregate impact to reported profit before tax of £11.7m. No restatements were made to adjusted profit before tax in 2024, and no exceptional losses were reported in 2025. Historically, Galliford Try's 2018 and 2019 results were also restated, reducing 2018 profits by 22% and net assets for 2018 and 2019, following an FRC finding of overstated revenue in 2018.

Kind to Animals

The provided articles detail Galliford Try's general environmental management, biodiversity policies, and waste reduction efforts, which aim to minimize environmental impact and protect flora and fauna during construction.

However, the company's core business as a construction group does not typically involve activities such as animal testing, animal agriculture, or the production of animal-derived products. Consequently, the articles do not contain specific, measurable data points or quantitative metrics related to cruelty-free certifications, alternative testing methods, humane certifications for animal operations, ethical input substitution, cage-free sourcing, animal testing policies or volume, R&D investment in animal-free technologies, animal agriculture ethics, or direct, measurable wildlife conservation impact (e.g., species recovery metrics, percentage of revenue invested in conservation with documented outcomes) as required by the rubric's KPIs. Therefore, no KPIs can be scored based on the available evidence.

No War, No Weapons

Galliford Try derived approximately 5.01% of its 2025 revenue (£1,875.2m) from defense contracts.

This includes a £63m project at RAF Digby awarded in February 2025 and a £31m project at RAF Wyton secured in May 2024. The company also signed a Strategic Alliance Contract with the Defence Infrastructure Organisation for up to an estimated £387m in May 2023, and has delivered over £500m in facilities for the defense estate in the last 10 years. Far from divesting, the company is actively securing new defense contracts, indicating an expansion or maintenance of its military business lines. There is no specific evidence regarding dual-use technology, sales to embargoed regimes, peacebuilding investments, or other conflict-related policies or activities.

Planet-Friendly Business

The company sources 90% of its purchased electricity for permanent offices and construction sites from renewable sources. In 2023, 95.3% of waste was diverted from landfill. The company's TCFD disclosures are aligned with core elements and 11 specific recommendations, but are partially compliant as they lack quantitative assessment of the potential financial impacts of identified risks and opportunities. Climate scenario analysis includes modelling performed by the Carbon Trust and alignment with a 1.5°C trajectory for SBTi targets.

Safe & Smart Tech

No specific, quantifiable evidence was found in the provided articles to assess Galliford Try Holdings PLC against any of the 'Safe & Smart Tech' KPIs. The articles mention a comprehensive Privacy Notice

and the use of AI for safety solutions, but lack concrete details on data breaches, cybersecurity investment, privacy certifications, AI ethics governance, or specific security and privacy practices.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

Galliford Try diverted 96.0% of its waste from landfill in 2024.

The company has set a transformative target to achieve zero construction waste to landfill by 2026. They implement multiple waste reduction initiatives, including a PPE and packaging recycling scheme that diverted nearly 350kg of PPE from landfill, a focus on 'Right first time' to reduce waste, increased use of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC), and the application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools for design rationalisation to avoid over-specification. Additionally, Galliford Try deployed the Qflow platform in May 2024 to automate waste data capture. Circular design principles are integrated through the adoption of MMC and digitalization for material efficiency. The company prioritizes suppliers with certified environmental management systems and active waste management, and actively engages with its supply chain for continuous improvement, including through the Net Zero Partners Initiative.
