SOCIAL VALUE & SUSTAINABILITY
At ICG, we are committed to creating social value by leaving a lasting, positive legacy in every community we work with going beyond the infrastructure we deliver to genuinely improve lives and strengthen local communities.
What is Social Value?
Social value can take many forms and holds a different meaning for each community and individual.
For us, social value means that on all our projects we support…
- Creating opportunities – Supporting individuals into employment, particularly those facing barriers to work.
- Investing in skills – Delivering accredited training and health services to build safer, stronger teams.
- Strengthening communities – Giving back through initiatives that leave a lasting positive impact.
- Promoting inclusivity – Ensuring the rail and construction sectors are accessible and diverse.
- Building legacies – Delivering not just infrastructure, but meaningful change that benefits people long term.
We are passionate about opening doors for those facing barriers to employment, providing Accredited Training and Occupational Health services that not only strengthen businesses but also empower individuals. Our focus is always on people helping them find sustainable career paths while supporting our clients with safe, skilled, and inclusive workforce solutions.
Creating Lasting Impact Through Social Value:
With decades of experience and a trusted network of partners across the UK, we understand that the true measure of success goes beyond the infrastructure we deliver. It lies in the opportunities we create, the careers we support, and the positive legacies we leave behind in local communities.
On every project we undertake, we actively seek ways to give back whether that’s by providing training and apprenticeships, opening pathways for those facing barriers to employment, or supporting local businesses and initiatives. We believe that creating a safer, more inclusive workforce not only benefits our industry but strengthens the communities we serve. By embedding social value into everything we do, we aim to make a lasting difference that extends far beyond the completion of a project.
Advocating Women In Construction:
At ICG, we are passionate about advocating for the next generation of women in construction. We recognise that our industry has historically faced challenges around representation, and we are committed to breaking down barriers to create fair and equal opportunities. By championing women in construction, we not only help individuals build successful careers but also bring fresh perspectives and skills that strengthen the entire sector.
Supporting women in construction is closely tied to our commitment to social value. Every opportunity we create helps to shape a more inclusive, diverse, and resilient workforce- one that better reflects the communities we serve. Through training, mentorship, and partnerships, we aim to inspire young women to see construction and rail as industries full of possibility.
