Understanding that our business depends as much on the skill of our people as it does on our equipment, we focus on maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, supported by ongoing training.
Our success as a leading company in the construction and mining sectors is driven by each individual we employ locally and internationally. We believe that better business decisions - and stronger business performance - are driven by groups of competent, high-calibre individuals operating in a diverse environment.
Respect for the environment is important for our business. We strive to minimise harm by conducting our activities in an environmentally responsible manner. Our goal is to go beyond compliance to conserve and protect our natural resources.
We invested R7.5 million in corporate social investment projects that aim to transform peoples lives and empower communities for a sustainable future.
