Sustainability

For Westshield, 'sustainability' means 'longevity' and those business practices and policies that will ensure our continuation long into the future are placed at the heart of all operations.

That means seeking to make a positive impact on society, the environment and the community, not just minimising the negative.

Close to home that translates as:

Growing a business organically without rocking its firmest foundations
Challenging individuals whilst delivering job satisfaction
Providing individuals with the opportunity to expand skills via further training and education, developing their confidence and accomplishments
Stretching the company's capabilities whilst still achieving very high standards of craftsmanship and client retention
Being a responsible neighbour and ensuring clear channels of communication are established with communities to minimise avoidable disruption and inconvenience.

On a more global scale it means:

Recruiting skilled individuals living locally
Encouraging shared transport schemes
Employing on-site technicians to extend the lifecycle of vehicles and plant machinery
Purchasing materials from local manufacturers
Implementing a Site Waste Management Plan to seek ways to responsibly reuse and redistribute waste materials.

Every day and every new contract brings with it new opportunities to build a sustainable business. We move with the times and evolve with this change.
