Message from the CEO
EllisDon has a clear purpose - to provide talented individuals who share our values with the opportunity to achieve their professional goals while making a meaningful contribution to society.
Our values are not just mere words; we are committed to putting them into practice. We are not content with just changing our own business - we are on a mission to transform the entire industry.
Our company is uniquely positioned to lead the construction industry in its transformation towards a more sustainable and equitable future. We believe collaboration and innovation are essential to achieving these goals, and we are committed to working with our clients, partners, and communities to impact the environment and society positively.
We are taking tangible steps to reduce our carbon and environmental impact, as well as support local communities, especially those that are underrepresented. This is not always easy, and sometimes change may take longer than we would like. Nevertheless, we are encouraging our people to use their innovative spirit and skills and, in turn, make a meaningful contribution to the industry. We do this by creating a culture of trust and transparency where everyone feels valued and respected.
I am proud of our dedication to innovation, sustainability, and equity, and our leadership continues to drive the initiatives detailed in this report.
Together, we can make a lasting impact, and I'm confident that EllisDon will continue leading the way towards a better future for all.
