Babcock International's core business, which involves providing engineering support services across defence, emergency services, and civil industries, has no significant direct positive or negative health impact on the general public. The company's internal programs for employee mental health and wellbeing, including an Employee Assistance Programme and a network of over 500 trained Mental Health First Aiders, as well as its commitment to workplace safety, are not assessed under this value, as the rubric explicitly excludes workplace safety standards and worker rights.

Planet-Friendly Business
-20
In 2024, Babcock International Group PLC gained validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its science-based near and long-term emissions reduction targets, which include a 2030 target aligned with a 1.5-degree pathway.
1
The company's total carbon footprint in 2024 was 5,016,666 tCO2e, and it publicly discloses all 15 Scope 3 emissions categories.
2
However, the rubric's quantitative tier for this emission level (-70) describes a scenario where Scope 3 is excluded, which contradicts the evidence. Therefore, this KPI is omitted. Similarly, the company's commitment to total Net Zero by 2050 with a 2030 Science Based Target does not precisely align with the qualitative and quantitative descriptions of the net-zero target year tiers, leading to its omission.
