Balfour Beatty and Interserve review supply chain after labour abuse claims in Qatar

Balfour Beatty and Interserve will investigate claims of labour abuses in the supply chain on sites operated by Qatari firms they co-own...“BK Gulf takes the claims made by the Guardian very seriously and as a result is currently undertaking a review with the labour supply companies it works with to ensure our standards are being met”...A spokesman for Interserve said: “We are committed to supporting and protecting the health, safety and welfare of our employees in Qatar and will terminate contracts with any subcontractors or suppliers that fail to meet our required standards."*

[*Interserve have since updated their response in the original Guardian article to: “We are fully committed to supporting and protecting the health, safety and welfare of our employees and those working as part of our supply chain. We take these allegations extremely seriously and will investigate them thoroughly. If corrective measures are required, we will ensure they are implemented immediately." ]
