As a proud privately-owned company, we make every effort to ensure that our work improves the quality of the communities we are integrating into.

As places to live, do business, play, and visit, our footprint should support growth, prosperity, and positive socio-economic outcomes. From small contributions to long term outcomes, we continuously explore ways to impact positively and contribute to our communities and exceed our social responsibilities.

We take sustainability, innovation, and our responsibility to environmental management seriously to protect the environment for future generations. Strong engagement with mana whenua provides a robust framework for kaupapa, kaitiakitanga, and circular economy principles.

We commit to providing sufficient resources to implement these policies and procedures processes – from the boardroom to the shovel – to achieve our objectives and responsibilities.

Our five policies, Tiriti, Environment, Sustainability, Quality, and Health, Safety & Wellbeing, set guidelines, expectations, and our commitment to our people and our work.

The Dempsey Wood Whānau is one where we look after one another. We work as a team and use our combined strengths to overcome challenges.

Our Five Policies:

Tiriti

Launched on 6 February 2021, this policy sets out our  commitment to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi within  its policies and practices. Under Article 3, operating in  the spirit of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and acting in good faith, we intend to foster mutual regard and understand the  multicultural nature of Aotearoa. Thereby we ensure Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti have opportunities to participate fully in all levels and aspects of our organization.

Environmental

Innovation and research, as well as leading practices and training, will help us deliver on our commitments to environmental performance with confidence and pride. 

Sustainability

We integrate sustainability principles with our decision-making, processes, and the important bottom line. 

Quality

Learning about and understanding our partner’s  requirements – an essential first step in delivering all projects with pride and confidence in the quality of our work. 

Health, Safety & Wellbeing

If you or a mate think something is unsafe – stop work, ask questions, act.

We continually lift our regulatory compliance standards for Health, Safety, Environment, Quality, and Sustainability and frequently review and adapt our processes.
