Our CSR Approach is to collaborate with all our stakeholders to address key challenges and maximise the positive impact we have on the environment, society and ensure business success.
The four pillars of our CSR approach are:
Environmental
The environment an sustainable development are a priority for us at MYCO with our quality systems certified to ISO 14001. MYCO works with experts and its stakeholders to support, collaborate and innovate to take environmental action, build eco-systems and eliminate greenhouse gases as fast as possible.
Workforce
The workforce is an essential part of how we operate and at MYCO. We continue to foster a supportive and inclusive environment for all our employees to excel, from office staff to site operatives. MYCO ensures that we engage with suppliers and communities in which we work, with consistent standards and offer opportunities for personal development and progression.
Community
We are committed to supporting the communities we work with through economic development and philanthropy. We are proud advocates of the Considerate Constructors Scheme and register each project regardless of size and reinforce our health, safety, training and community engagement programs.
Market Place
MYCO are committed to work with industry leaders and those from other sectors to explore and innovate sustainable buildings and construction delivery. We are dedicated to the principles of circular economy and supporting the use of renewable resources. Similarly, we challenge material selection choice and offer alternatives that will not only last longer, but reduce environmental impact and enhance social value.
