FCP Corporate Policies

The core position of the railway in the UK economy, the scale of Government and Local Authority funding, and the wide reach of the enterprise requires that best practice is adopted in the political and social areas that concern stakeholders ranging from the Government and European Union to employees, railway customers, and opinion formers.

FCP has therefore paid particular attention to these policy statements that reflect the wider expectations of society. As well as these working summaries fuller statements are available through linked pages.

We are particularly mindful of the requirements for such information as part of the tendering process for contracts and believe that the objectives and implementation of these policies provide assurance to prospective customers that FCP is wholly compliant with the bid requirements of public authorities, commercial organisations, and the wider stakeholder interest.
