Creating a strong and positive legacy in the construction industry matters to us. That means developing a culture where our people can continually grow, learn and thrive.
Led by the best
Southbase Group is led by people who have been instrumental in shaping the industry over the past 30 years. Around our board and management table we have significant depth and credibility that reflects a combination of industry knowledge, specialist expertise and overall commercial acumen.
We have invested heavily in robust internal processes, financial systems, experienced in-house resources and the appropriate external financial expertise to ensure we have optimal reporting and transparency that gives our clients confidence and fosters relationships of trust.
Our commitment to ESG
In late-2020 our group recommitted to focusing heightened and renewed energies on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) outcomes, specifically around people, the planet, and conservation, and ensuring positive economic impacts for the organisations we partner with.
This is being done through engaging and partnering with industry experts whose knowledge and expertise in creating wider social value are recognised by both the community and our Government clients. This includes MATES in Construction, Akina, and Amotai - who are all supporting us in achieving our commitments.
