A sustainable business model
Sustainable value
Earthwork Services making sustainable contributions to social wellbeing, environmental stewardship and economic prosperity with the future in mind. Responsible site management. Shared Success. We develop tomorrow’s earthmoving solutions today.
We are committed to operating sustainably as a responsible business of the future. We believe that through sensible, responsible and ethical corporate behaviour that reflects true consideration for our employees, communities and other stakeholders and the environment in which we live, we will be successful in sustaining our business of the future. We view sustainable and responsible business practices as critical for our business and stakeholder value.
Our understanding of Sustainability is about managing risks and opportunities in a way that best balances the long term needs of all our stakeholders – our customers, employees, suppliers, and business partners, as well as the wider community and the environment at large. We have a clear commitment to think and act in the interest of future generations, balancing People, Earth/Environment and Economic factors through effective governance (the GEEP model). In addressing these Sustainability factors, we are able to interpret and understand the ever evolving business environment and successfully address the issues most material to our business and stakeholders, now and in the future.
We understand that this is an evolving agenda and seek to progressively embed the management of sustainability issues into business as usual practice, while also anticipating and shaping emerging issues where we have the skills and experience to make a meaningful difference and drive business value. We believe we will achieve this through a well-defined governance structure and the Management Review Committee, composed of top managers who oversee the integration of sustainability throughout its business model.
