Balfour Beatty announces that as part of Associated Builders and Contractors' (ABC) 2025 Top Performers list, the company ranks No. 9 on ABC's Top General Contractors list. The national trade association's list is an annual publication that recognizes its contractor members' outstanding achievements in safety, quality, merit, project excellence and special designations ranked by number of hours worked.

"We are incredibly proud of our team's unwavering commitment to operational excellence and our Zero Harm safety practices, which have earned us this distinguished recognition," said Eric Stenman, Balfour Beatty US president and chief executive officer. "This achievement reflects the dedication, expertise and collaborative spirit of our teammates across the country. We're pleased to be among the top-performing companies in our industry and remain committed to delivering exceptional value for our clients while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality in everything we do."

As an ABC Top Performer, Balfour Beatty achieved Gold status or higher in ABC's STEP Safety Management System®, which helps industry-leading contractors achieve incident rates nearly six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, according to ABC's Safety Performance Report. Balfour Beatty also earned ABC's Accredited Quality Contractor credential, which recognizes excellence in quality, safety performance, talent management---including inclusion, diversity and merit---craft and management education and community relations.

The seventh annual ABC Top Performers lists include diverse merit shop businesses large and small, from women-, veteran- and minority-owned businesses and service-disabled firms to disadvantaged business enterprises across the country.

"Competition is a healthy constant in the ever-evolving world of construction, and Balfour Beatty believes fair and open competition based on merit fosters innovation, increases value and delivers results for the betterment of the individual, the industry and the nation," said Michael Bellaman, president and CEO of ABC. "ABC top performers are the competitive all-stars of construction, with commonalities like ABC's STEP Safety Management System, ABC's Accredited Quality Contractor credential, upskilling and education programs, leadership development, technology implementation and more. These contractors win work based on merit. Congratulations to Balfour Beatty for competing on a fair and level playing field, building the nation's most enduring, innovative, high-quality construction projects and for attracting and retaining the best talent, based on merit."
