Sustainability

The sustainability mission of Delta Contracting is to protect people and the environment, partner with communities and society, and promote economic development.

Our sustainability framework is based on the three pillars of sustainability, social, economic and environmental.

We go beyond business, fulfilling our duty as a responsible corporate citizen. We consistently work towards improving the quality of life of the communities we serve, be it our organization, the industry as a whole, or society at large.

Since we execute some of the largest and most challenging projects in Egypt, we take it upon ourselves to adopt sustainable practices that serve the well-being of the community and environment- both in the immediate vicinity of its work operations and also beyond.

To this end, we take major actions for sustainability by:

  • Apply our proven processes, experience and innovation in engineering, environmental safety, security and health, procurement, construction, and operations to develop, design, and execute projects with care for the environment, as well as for the safety and well-being of the people and communities who can be affected by our projects.
  • Be supportive to the communities that host our projects and offices and use inclusive, participatory engagement by which local cultures and values are respected, dialogue is promoted and mutual trust is built.
  • Build and enhance the capacity of workers and businesses through local procurement and hiring and by stimulating long-term economic development beyond the projects we deliver.

While these efforts are influenced by local issues and project complexity, Delta Contracting s is committed to enhancing the positive effects of our projects and avoiding or mitigating the negative ones. This commitment is embodied in Delta Contracting Vision, Values, and Covenants; Environmental, Safety and Health Management System; and Code of Conduct. These, and other supporting policies and processes, are aimed at ensuring that Delta Contracting s is improving sustainability outcomes for all customers and stakeholders wherever we operate in the world.
