Good health & wellbeing
There is more to life than work. To truly thrive, we must help all our people balance and integrate work with their personal life. As a result, we balance health, wellbeing and flexible work practices. Our holistic initiatives in these areas are created to apply to everyone, no matter what stage of life they’re in.
Quality education
We want our staff to love what they do. We aim to create meaningful careers for everyone, providing professional pathways that are accessible and clear. We help align careers to personal goals and provide a range of learning and development opportunities to support growth and progression.
As we empower everyone to drive their career, we regularly celebrate progress and contributions along the way so our people feel valued and recognised.
Gender equality
We not only embrace diversity – we prioritise it through a focus on equity, inclusion and belonging.
We’ve set ambitious targets, especially for attracting females to the construction industry, and developed initiatives to help achieve them. We know our people – and our clients – are enriched by the positive contributions diversity brings to our workplace.
We have a bold gender diversity target which aims to ensure women make up at least 30% of our workforce by 2030. Given only around 12% of construction industry employees are women, our 30% by ‘30 target is more than twice the current industry average and is particularly ambitious in a traditionally male-dominated industry context.
Community
Giving Back Through MbRACE
Since Mainbrace began in 1989, giving back has been part of who we are. Over the years, we’ve raised more than $1 million for charities and community organisations across Australia – through staff fundraising, industry events, and partnerships with our clients and suppliers.
In 2021, we brought this commitment to life in a new way with the launch of MbRACE – our dedicated community program. It’s all about coming together to support causes that matter, using our time, energy and resources to make a real difference.
From fundraising and awareness campaigns to hands-on support, we’re always looking for meaningful ways to make a difference – and to have a little fun along the way.
One of our recent initiatives, the Gift of Life campaign, saw more than half our team donate blood in partnership with Lifeblood – many for the first time. That simple act helped save over 1,000 lives and left a lasting impact we’re incredibly proud of.
Social
Our social sustainability framework is focused on the following UN Sustainable Development Goals: Good Health & Wellbeing, Quality Education and Gender Equality.
Through collaborative approaches and building on our strategy of ‘Enriched Lives & Meaningful Careers’, we’re creating environments where everyone can build success.
