Our belief is that for longer-term value creation, we must balance financial performance with our obligations to all our stakeholders, including clients, customers, employees, supply chain partners and the communities and environment in which we operate.
To achieve project-specific sustainability goals, we work with clients and stakeholders to fully understand their needs and engage resourcefully and collaboratively to implement an agreed approach to achieve these objectives. It’s important that all project stakeholders are aligned in their collective pursuit of the best results, and we make it happen through effective communication and great leadership.
Central to our practice is the principle of zero harm, which ensures we create an environment that supports the health and wellbeing of our people, minimises the impact that our business has on the environment and advances the communities we work in.
Sustainability is a strategic priority in our business and we continually pursue opportunities to improve our practice, measurement and reporting.
Sustainability underpins our long-term success as a business and is guided by our strategy and supported by good business practice.
Our approach to sustainability is underpinned by a robust corporate governance framework. This framework provides strategic direction for the responsible and sustained growth of our businesses.
Ertech undertakes all business in accordance with a business Code of Conduct.
