The Go-Ahead Group has today published its sustainability report for the year ended 1 July 2017, which coincides with the Group's Annual General Meeting. This publication illustrates the company’s sustainability performance and progress across all aspects of the organisation's activity.


Katy Taylor, commercial and customer director, explains: “We continually aim to improve our reporting across the Group and make sure we are talking about the things that matter most to our key stakeholders and to the business.

“We are proud of our achievements to date including the development of a £1m community investment programme that includes cash and time contributions benefiting the local communities in which we operate. Working collaboratively with our strategic partners, helps us deliver value to our people, customers and society at large.”
