  • LEND LEASE APPROACH Our Approach to Sustainability Supports Our Aim to Be the Leading International Property and Infrastructure Group
    SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2011 MESSAGE FROM STEVE MCCANN Welcome to Lend Lease’s 2011 Sustainability Report. Sustainability is part of how we do business at Lend Lease. Every day we consider the environmental, social, ethical and financial impacts of what we do. Safety first Operating Incident & Injury Free is the most important challenge we face, and it is essential to the ongoing success of our operations. Our Asia, EMEA and Americas businesses reported no fatalities in the 2011 financial year, however we deeply regret that one person lost his life in our Australian operations. Over the past five years, our efforts to make safety the responsibility of every individual, not only the safety teams, have resulted in improved incident frequency rates and an 80 per cent reduction in our fall of person incidents. This year, we focused on safety leadership, improving our operating disciplines and driving appropriate behaviours to embed a positive safety culture. We will continue to prioritise safety and drive uncompromising leadership through our businesses. Caring for our environment We are constantly identifying, understanding and mitigating the environmental impacts of our projects. This year we continued to invest in clean technologies, expanded our green building practices and helped lead the industry through partnerships and advocacy to generate environmental change. We are proud to be one of fourteen organisations partnering with the United States administration, under President Obama, to increase energy efficiency under the Better Buildings Challenge. In the past year, we implemented an integrated Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) Management System that provides us with a company-wide global framework to identify risk, manage the impact of our activities, and continuously improve our performance.

  • Contractor Performance on Mega Projects – Avoiding the Pitfalls
    Working Paper Proceedings 15th Engineering Project Organization Conference with 5th International Megaprojects Workshop Stanford Sierra Camp, California June 5-7, 2017 Contractor Performance on Mega Projects – Avoiding the Pitfalls Peter Ryan, WBHO Infrastructure Pty Ltd, The University of Melbourne, Australia Colin F. Duffield, The University of Melbourne, Australia Proceedings Editors Ashwin Mahalingam, IIT Madras, Tripp Shealy, Virginia Tech, and Nuno Gil, University of Manchester © Copyright belongs to the authors. All rights reserved. Please contact authors for citation details. CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ON MEGA PROJECTS – AVOIDING THE PITFALLS Peter Ryan1 and Colin Duffield2 ABSTRACT The Tier 1 contractors operating in the Australian marketplace have consistently failed to deliver their financial targets on mega projects. Although these organisations have theoretically developed expertise in delivery, been governed by astute directors, employed the best leaders, paid top salaries, and developed dependable systems, the industry has delivered disastrous financial outcomes and their results on mega projects have continued to erode shareholder value. To quantify the scale and impact of financial failures in the industry, this study examined the performance of infrastructure mega projects in Australia since 2000, as well as the personal experiences of business executives and project leaders. Analysis of the results from the mega projects studied indicates that on average, each completed project has posted a loss of 16%. This suggests that each project destroys its original 9% profit margin plus a further deterioration of 7%. This represents a loss of A$215m on an average project size of A$1.32b. Australian contractors have incurred losses of A$6b on mega projects completed between 2000 and 2015 and, if nothing changes, will potentially lose a further A$11b on current mega projects that will be delivered between 2015 and 2020.
