Babcock and the Armed Forces
Babcock is committed to honouring the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant and supporting the Armed Forces community. Whether it’s serving personnel (regular or reservists), veterans or military families, we want to recognise the contribution they make to our business and country.
Our work with the RAF over the past 100 years has laid the foundation for a partnership that we look forward to continuing as we support the RAF with skill and innovation in the century to come.
Our work on the HADES, LAFT2 and FSTA contracts are already looking ahead at how we can support the Ministry of Defence (MOD) in being more efficient, more innovative and more cost effective with their future aviation requirements.
That’s why we’re an armed-forces friendly employer and always proud to show our support.
Diversity
We take diversity seriously. We firmly believe that a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture is an essential part of a healthy and progressive business, and so is something we actively encourage. We are corporate members of WISE (Women into Science and Engineering) and OUTstanding (a not-for-profit professional network for LGBT executives and their allies).
What it means to ‘be babcock’
In a service business, such as Babcock, it’s the people who really make a difference to how the company is perceived, both internally and externally.
Our new Principles create the foundation for how we behave as individuals and as a team.
They keep us on the right course for achieving our vision of a safe, strong, sustainable Babcock. They unify the way we work, so no matter your role in the business or location around the world, we’re all on the same page and working together in the same way.
Our six Principles
- Be curious – We believe in positively challenging the status quo and asking, ‘how might we?‘
- Think: outcomes – We believe in measuring success by the results we deliver and the positive impact we make
- Be kind – We believe in being kind to ourselves, kind to each other and kind to the planet
- Collaborate – We believe that Babcock is greater than the sum of its parts
- Be courageous – We believe in being brave, ambitious and determined
- Own & deliver – We believe everybody has a part to play in Babcock’s and our customers’ success
We should use our Principles in every idea, every interaction, and every action. Shared values and ways of doing things will help us succeed.
We developed our Principles inspired by what went before, how we already act, and aligned to what Babcock needs to do in order to create a safe and secure world together.
