Willmott Dixon achieved 92% in Business in the Community’s annual benchmark of how companies engage with their communities, called the Corporate Responsibility Index (CR Index).
The CR Index is a rigorous benchmarking tool which assesses companies against a diverse range of factors, from the way they manage their environmental impact to how well engaged their board and senior managers are with responsible business issues. It also includes how a company treats its employees and supply chain and the link between remuneration and CR performance – plus more.
Paul Smith, director with responsibility for sustainability at Willmott Dixon said: “We're delighted to have achieved 92% – a 4% increase on our 2014 score.

Stephen Howard, Chief Executive, Business in the Community said:
“The 2015 CR Index shows us that we are moving in the right direction and companies are now increasingly integrating responsible business practice into decision making right across the business. To truly change business culture, companies need to engage their people to embrace a different way of doing business with responsible values at the core. So it is especially encouraging this year that we have seen a significant increase in the representation of corporate responsibility, both at board level and amongst the generation of future leaders that will shape the businesses of tomorrow. I congratulate Willmott Dixon for achieving its 3 star ranking and look forward to working together to create a fairer society and a more sustainable future.”
