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
