About Us
We constantly strive to look for opportunities to create sustainable development in an ethical and socially responsible way. As service providers working within the construction industry, our social responsibilities lie primarily with the environment, the community and the people we interact with.
Environmental Policy
We are committed to providing environmentally responsible services to our customers, workforce and the wider community.
Our policy is to support and promote environmentally sustainable practices throughout our business through compliance with relevant environmental legislation, conducting environmental assessments and minimising adverse environmental impacts at project sites. We have adopted a range of environmental best practices such as using recycled paper and energy efficient lighting, collection and use of rainwater and employing local people.
We also support environmentally sustainable practices such as waste reduction, emission control, protection of ecosystems, limited land clearing and energy efficiency consistent with current technical knowledge.
"I would like to thank you for the attention that was given to my house by your excellent staff. They were great workers and very thorough and considerate. Please God I won't need you again, but if so I would more that welcome you because I know how good your staff were. All the best for the future."
- M Palmer (25 August 2011) after Cyclone Yasi repairs
Community Policy
We strive to develop mutually beneficial relationships with the community through supporting local businesses, employing local people and encouraging all employees to support the local community through volunteering. We commit to returning 0.5% of total annual revenue back to the community by way of donations and sponsorships.
We currently partner with and sponsor Mission Beach State School, Tully Rugby League, Mission Beach Film Festival, Mission Beach Business and Tourism, Lions Club and State Emergency Services (SES).
People Policy
We recognise the importance of the people with which we interact and are committed to the personal development and training of our employees and stakeholders.
As part of our People Policy we invest in employee training, multi skilling and apprenticeship programs. Tropical Coast Builders currently employs five apprentices at different stages of their training, including mature age apprentices. We recognise and reward individual contributions within the business, and support a work and life balance by enabling employees to work flexible hours and operate from home.
