Environment
Murray & Roberts Construction aspires for zero harm in all aspects of its business including the natural environment in which it operates.
The major environmental risks impacting the Group’s operations are presented below:
Release of hydrocarbons |
All operating environments |
Water/ground water pollution |
All operating environments |
Air pollution |

Waste management |
All operating environments |
Hazardous material handling |
Fixed facility & construction sites |
In this context, a group environmental framework has called for explicit measures of environmental performance, including the following indicators against which risks and opportunities can be assessed and managed for:
- resource efficiency and carbon footprint
- emissions, effluents, and waste management
The framework aims to enable operations to better understand and identify hazards and risks and their potential effects, and the preventative measures required to achieve the Group’s zero harm aspiration.
Murray & Roberts requires that operating companies adopt the most stringent standards, implementation and compliance to ISO 14001, a standard that addresses environmental management systems (EMS), whether they are imposed by client management plans, local and national legislation, or the Group.
