HOW WE GIVE BACK
Part of the advantage of owning a business is the power to foster change. We are dedicated to supporting our community, planet and future through a range of choices, processes and programs within the business and our wider community. By supporting local businesses and communities, tackling social issues and engaging sustainable habits as a business, over time we hope to not only achieve a range of “giving back goals” but also inspire our employees, clientele and stakeholders to consider the impact of these 1 percenters.
SUPPORTING LOCAL
It is our priority to build strong communities by sustaining functional local infrastructure, but also long-term we want to help link neighbours with economic and social relationships, contributing to local causes.
We are working towards our goals by:
- Prioritising the use of local suppliers for material components
- Recruiting locally along the South- East corridor
- Completing 80% of our projects in the South Eastern region
- Sponsoring local sporting clubs
SOCIAL ENTERPRISES
Part of our commitment to a better future is to help tackle social issues and provide access to employment and training for everyone.
This includes:
- Continually investing in our future leaders, regularly offering opportunities to apprentices, and
career paths for people into carpentry from VCAL - Consistency as an equal opportunity employer – with platforms and opportunities for all workers including those with disadvantaged backgrounds or disabilities
- Providing continual investment into our employees to provide ongoing training and development
SUSTAINABILITY
Dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint, where possible we always use sustainable products and practices including:
- Recycled timber or FSC certified timber
- Recycled composite materials
- Preference to use Australian
made materials - Recycle material from demolition
