✓ Careful consideration of material order quantities and delivery schedules to a ensure minimum waste

✓ Consider waste generation and the cost of waste as part of project delivery

✓ Ensure suppliers are subject to the Helix CMS review process

✓ Share good practice with all supply chain for continuous improvement

Brilliant people

We make it our mission to recruit on our values.

With a climate positive workforce, our staff are very much on the journey to achieving excellence in construction with us.

We empower and educate so they understand how serious we take sustainability and how they play an important role in helping us minimise our impact on the world now and in the future.

Support community

Our team is proud that their purpose is to deliver high quality healthcare facilities for people and communities to which they belong.

At every stage of a project, we are mindful to consider factors affecting people beyond the bricks we lay - patient safety, staff efficiency, environmental factors and patient and staff wellbeing.

Better environment

Our eco social responsibility is part of our DNA and has been since day one. From recycling 99% of site waste to eliminating single use plastic on site, every member of our team and all our partners is part of our journey to leave a greener, smaller footprint.

We’re incredibly proud to have a climate positive workforce and are committed to further increasing our impact on sustainability.
