Burson Buchanan supports the Altrad Group, a global leader in the provision of industrial services to a wide range of sectors and equipment for the construction and buildings sectors in various aspects of its corporate communications, including on the future advancement of its Sustainability strategy.
Altrad has published its 2024 Annual Report, reporting on another year of strong performance underpinned by a culture of empowering identity, and the Group’s 2024 Sustainability Report which advances its Sustainability reporting.
The enlarged Group (now made up of 60,000 skilled and talented people), with a diversified offering, positions Altrad as a strategic partner to blue chip clients supporting critical infrastructure across multiple sectors. Altrad’s diversification strategy provides strong business resilience with exposure to different market drivers in multiple sectors and regions of the world.
The Annual Report theme of Empowering Identity focuses on how this is a cornerstone of Altrad’s strategic vision and is at the heart of Altrad’s commitment to sustainable growth and ethical leadership. By fostering a culture and organisational structure that empowers people, Altrad cultivates a thriving environment where skills and excellence flourish. Creating a workplace where individuals innovate, collaborate and reach their full potential to achieve the collective goals of the Group.
Altrad Advances Sustainability Reporting
In 2024, Burson Buchanan was commissioned for a 2nd year to support Altrad with its sustainability disclosures.
Whilst the deadline for compliance with the new reporting standard – ESRS – has been delayed, Burson Buchanan guided Altrad with a foundational assessment of materiality, engaging with senior leadership and determining regulatory disclosure obligations for the multinational Group, based on the new standard and its relevance to Altrad’s operations.

The Group is a good example of the type of private organisation that now has to address formal non-financial reporting in line with new European Union legislation (CSRD), having previously provided stakeholders with a voluntary sample of sustainability activities from around its operations. The exercise has stimulated a Group-wide programme to develop the governance and internal controls necessary to increase the breadth and quality of sustainability-related performance, to provide a standardised level of external reporting that will meet both regulatory and stakeholder expectation over the coming years.
