In late 2021, we launched a bold set of group-wide sustainability visions, goals and trailblazer projects with the aim to drive innovation and continuous improvement in four priority areas: Environment, Communities, People and Customer.
Project Compass is our hugely important long-term commitment to be a sustainable and resilient business, supporting us to better deliver on our purpose. As well as offering us an immediate competitive edge, it’s our way of ensuring that we remain competitive and relevant, as well as being completely aligned with our values.
I am passionate about making a difference and leveraging the power of our group to create long-term value for all. Prioritising sustainability is part of our 200+ year old Bibby DNA, and I firmly believe that, when the world in which we operate thrives, so do we.
Project Compass is underpinned by stretching targets which you can see in our infographic below.
Each priority area, or Compass ‘Point’ has a bold vision, ambitious sustainability goal, and a set of focus projects to guide activity to help us meet our new group Compass vision of being “A family business known for creating a better future together”.
One year after its inception, we have made an excellent start; providing quality products and services that our customers value and trust, investing in our people and communities, and protecting shared natural resources. Watch our first year highlights reel below.
Project Compass has already engaged with people from across the group. Not only have colleagues been asked for their views on what we should do across each of the four points, but also senior leaders from within each business are plugged deeply into the process, talking to their counterparts in the other Bibby group businesses to learn from each other, share knowledge and develop these plans.
“Against each of the four points of our Compass Four Points we are launching a bold vision, an ambitious goal and series of trailblazer projects to kickstart activity.
These are exciting projects, with the potential to make a huge difference to our colleagues, customers and communities. We will be reporting against of each of these goals to hold ourselves to account. Watch the video below to find out more.
The four Point vision statements have also informed the Group vision for Project Compass:
“The group vision brings together what’s special about Bibby and our ambition. Compass is designed as an evergreen project which will keep pushing us to do more. And we want everyone to be involved across the whole group, as well as our partners to achieve our ambitious goals.
“I invite you to read about what we’re doing on each of the four points by clicking on the Compass graphics below. There will be lots of opportunity to get involved. And we want to keep learning and developing, so please get in touch with any ideas for how we can drive Compass further, faster.
“In the meantime, many thanks for all of your suggestions, and for your commitment to creating a better future together. I am truly grateful.”
