Corporate social responsibility

Corporate social responsibility

At WT, we strive to shape a better future for our people, our environment and our community.

Corporate social responsibility is more than a commitment – it’s part of who we are. We believe in building a better future by embedding ethical, sustainable, and inclusive practices across everything we do. From reducing our environmental impact and supporting community initiatives to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, we’re proud to play an active role in creating positive change in the industry and the world around us. 

People

Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We champion diversity, equity and inclusion by fostering a workplace where everyone feels respected, supported and empowered. Through ongoing training, mentoring and sponsorship, we invest in professional growth at every level. We promote a culture of respect and belonging, where individuality is embraced.

Environmental sustainability

Economic and environmental outcomes are intricately linked in our modern world, and striking a balance between the two is critical for a sustainable future. We believe that the construction sector plays a significant role in shaping the world we live in, and with that role comes a responsibility to ensure our operations align with environmental stewardship.

WT are focused on helping combat climate change, preserving biodiversity, and protecting vital ecosystems. For example, company flight travel is for essential purposes only and we carbon offset all flights we do take.

Community

We believe we have a responsibility to give back and support the communities we live and work in to deliver sustainable social outcomes. Our CSR committee feel it is important to reflect the interests and initiatives our team are invested in, so every year an employee-wide survey is conducted to inform budget and strategy decisions.

This includes volunteering, pro-bono work, financial contributions, and donation of goods. We focus on key pillars and initiatives chosen by our people, including mental health, domestic violence impacts and environmental conservation.
