Sustainable development is integral to our approach to business and the solutions we provide to our clients, especially at this key time of energy transition.
Fluor's sustainability charter envisions meeting the needs of Fluor's clients while conducting business in a socially, economically and environmentally responsible manner to the benefit of current and future generations, thereby creating value for all stakeholders.
Every day, Fluor helps clients safeguard the environment, conserve energy, protect lives and strengthen the economies and social structures of communities in which Fluor employees work and live.
At Fluor, leadership in sustainability is more than just a responsibility; it is a privilege.
Communities
Fluor and the Fluor Foundation contributed more than $5 million in financial support, and employees volunteered nearly 12,000 hours to help enrich the lives of those in their communities to benefit education, public health and critical human needs, economic development and the environment.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Fluor is committed to improving representation in leadership and strengthening our talent pipeline by expanding diverse recruiting.
Health & Safety
We received the Construction Users Roundtable Construction Industry Safety Excellence Award for the rebuilding of two sugar silos at the 111-year-old ASR Group Domino Sugar refinery in Chalmette, Louisiana, after they were damaged by fire.
Energy Transition
Fluor continues to help clients navigate their journeys through energy transition. We began performing a pre-feasibility study for Mote’s Bakersfield, California, facility that will take agricultural waste and residue from forest management and convert them into hydrogen for transportation.
Successful year-one engagement led Fluor to take on the role of cohort champion for year two of the Carbontech Leadership Council’s Carbon to Value (C2V) initiative. Working with Carbontech startups allows Fluor to foster new technologies as the world seeks to rapidly decarbonise.
Environmental
Fluor established the teams, tools and processes and identified additional greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction initiatives for our Net Zero 2023 commitment. We also recognised our first location to achieve net zero – our Farnborough, United Kingdom, office.
We reduced our largest GHG emission source – Scope 2 – by 15 percent and indirect energy use (electricity) by 2.4 million kilowatt-hours from 2020.
Fluor and our employees helped protect, maintain and restore environmental habitats by planting more than 8,100 trees, restoring more than 85 acres (34.4 hectares) and recycling and disposing of 14,000 tons (12,701 tonnes) of litter.
Supply Chain
Fluor is chairing the Construction Industry Institute (CII) Research Team 380 on Value and Opportunities of Circular Economy on Capital Projects to highlight the business model changes required to maximise the value of shifting to a circular economy paradigm.The team is also developing tools to enable CII members to make this shift.
Approximately 78 percent of Fluor’s 2021 annual total spend – or approximately $4.8 billion – was with local suppliers and contractors worldwide.
We added requirements to embrace sustainability and diversity in our Supplier Expectations. We also strengthened requirements around conflict minerals, trade controls, anti-bribery and corruption, competing fairly, money laundering prevention, lobbying, company resources and government work.
